      No, definitely not Native American!

      I've seen this type of item before, it appears to be some type of kitsch souvenir caricature of tribal art. It may be from Indonesia, someplace in Africa, or even Australia, but is positively an import, not representative of any Native American tribe.

      Not Native American. "Mungaan" is the name of the artist. I'm pretty sure this is just a bit of African type tourist art. There is nothing on the internet with that name or that image.
