Rustic MCM Tiki Style Totem Hand-Carved Monkey Pod Wood Large Spoon & Fork VTG

This is a set of vintage, hand-carved wooden fork and spoon set- largest than most at approx 20” long each!! These items were a common form of wall decor in the mid-century era. The set is said to bring prosperity to families when hung on the kitchen wall and are adorned with small holes and rope for easy hanging -but how cool to use them for your salad or dinner serving!!
The handles feature carved faces in a ‘tiki’ or totem style.

They have 2 potential origins - They are similar with a very common tourist souvenir from Pacific islands - in which case are typically made from monkey pod wood and were popular as tourist.
However, they also bear a strong resemblance to Igorot heritage produced in the Philippines or other Polynesian regions in the mid-20th century,
