Description

This ceremonial mask did not have a description but I am going to guess that it was either Mayan or Aztec. It was about 18 inches (46 cm) tall. It will zoom. Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated. Dana

Hard to say, it could also be Polynesian, African or Maori too. Excellent shot!

A fantastic mask. Maybe it was used by a medicine man for rituals. Excellent and interesting shot.

I worked for some people that had so many masks from African and Mexican/ South American cultures. I had to move them to paint. seemed strange knowing they had actually been worn by witch doctors. outstanding shot

Fascinating - certainly an original artefact, and definitely NOT MADE IN CHINA! ;P be good to find out one fine day, where it originates from - and keep us informed, if you will ever be able to trace it ! BB
