My friend found this when cleaning out her grandmothers house. We have no history on it but her grandparents traveled the world. So we are wondering where it came from. There is no signature that I see but in the noise it looks like maybe a figure with horns. Any input would be great. Thanks

Interesting. Probably late 20th century, possibly African style. If the hair is synthetic and the piece is a paper macy's material, it most likely a tourist or airport gift shop type piece. If you are near a museum or college, I would have them verify because I can't see or touch it. Post back what you learn!
Thanks for the input the mask is wood and the hair is real hair of some kind it is still in the hide and glued to the wood some how. I was thinking I would be good to take it to a museum. I will post what they say. Thanks again
This is an African Mask that represents an animal or an ancestor. The person who actually wears one of these masks believes it will turn them into a tribal warrior or leader.
