Wood bowls, 4 legs, pointed "face"?

Can anyone identify these wooden bowls for me? We love these bowls but haven't been sure of their origins.

 

Polynesian carved wood KAVA bowl............





the item below.... is older and better.......





Late 19th to Early 20th Century

Diameter 81 cm ( 32 in )

The bowl was used for the preparation of Kava and is of typical form with pierced carrying lug and four legs. It is however particularly large as befits a gift from a King

Kava was a mildly intoxicating drink the preparation of which involved elaborate ritualistic procedure when used in formal ceremonies where it played an important part.

Provenance:
Given to the previous owner as a gift by King Taufa'ahau IV of Tonga

Thank you!!! We were way off on our guesses.

 

yer welcome.....that's what they keep me around here for !!

 

The larger one is Tongan style, the small one Fijian style. The shape is based on a turtle.
Looks like both were made in Fiji. These were often made as souvenirs.
