Hi, I bought this mask on a flea market and I wanted to know where it's from. Could someone please help me find out where this mask is from, if possible? Thanks!

My son also says this looks Bali/Indonesian but most of their masks have bright colors..
I believe it was probably made as wall decoration for the tourist trade but I do not research masks and only know that I've seen similar masks in thrift stores, flea markets and what we call 'junk' stores.
My opinion on this really means very little so I would suggest you try asking your question on some of the forums to see what collectors say. You should state the measurements as well. Are you sure it is wood?

Yeah, its wood, quite weavy aswell so its solid but it is wood, im certain about it
I agree with mockchoc. This is most likely Vintage Balinese Hand Carved Wooden Barong Mask. I have not found the same mask, but the outlines are similar to this Traditional Balinese mask (if you do not pay attention to the painting): www.canstockphoto.com/
It looks like a mask from an Asian country. I would take it to a dealer.
