Another thing I'd point out is nose shape: Melanesians tend to have long, arrow-like noses, and they tend to emphasize nose shape in their art. This is not a hard-and-fast rule, but it seems to hold true for their art, at least as far as I know.

Gav's club has a rounder nose, perhaps more Polynesian or Asian. But as Vandoo noted, those sunburst/eyelashed eyes aren't oceanic in a traditional sense, nor is the spear coming at the mouth. As for the spear going into the mouth? That's just odd.

I'm afraid I'm still thinking more modern on this one.

Best,

F
