DESCRIPTION
Vintage Handmade Tribal Indonesian Mask with Long Jute Beard.  It has a very Tribal look. In good vintage condition. It still displays well and is a super unique piece. It still has the original sticker on the back that says "Made in Indonesia.  The wood part of the mask measure right at 6" wide by 13" tall. I have owned for right at 30 years.
MY PERSONAL NOTE:
You'll see a lot of masks for sale and most of them are truly "original" masks but they were made for the express purpose of being a wall decoration.  They were made by natives for and sold to the tourist trade moving through the various countries. Very few of these masks are wearable masks. The masks we are selling were indeed made by natives for decorating foreign walls and being memories of worldly travels.   Masks that were actually worn in ceremonies by natives in the bush cost hundreds and often thousands of dollars and for every authentic one  there are a hundred fakes.  All of the masks we are selling on ebay were made are vintage, but made since 1900.  Just know what you are buying and enjoy collecting some really cool pieces of native art. Just don't think you're buying a lost treasure of the upper Nile for something under a hundred bucks.  These are super masks to buy and enjoy. They make an awesome wall decoration in a den or living area and can be the source of endless conversations. When guests see them the first thing we usually hear is, "oh Cool, Look at these!"
