Solomon Island region styles

I would say all are made in the 20th century some in the first half others later still.., not because of the inlay those can be found on older items from the Solomons (like you said, just look at the nguzunguzu prow figures)

The fiber braid work on it looks very crude compared to the older examples, different material too in my opinion.

This link gives one a good idea how much of a "frontier land" Malaita Island living can be, Malaita being a large island in the Solomons.
