Can anyone ID this. I am not sure if it is Native or not.

I know nothing about masks, but a mask wearing a mask seems so Venetian decorator mask to me.

And... Isn't this piece small for a mask other than decorator? From the $20... Isn't it about 6"?

 

So it is. The thing is, when I am presented with something unfamiliar that is supposed to indicate size, my mind automatically erases it from the picture.

 

Oh Jesus girl , you are so right !!!
The bill meant nothing to me as I fixated on the mask itself !!!
Shame on me !!!!!
So, while I could think of it as a child's mask.....I won't...
& I'll just say it's well made ....& shut up now !!

 

When I was quite young, my mom taught me that a US dollar bill is "about six inches" and that it was a good thing to know because "you almost always have one with you."

It was a handy tidbit that stuck (and has served me well more times than I can count)!

 

And now I have to convert that to metric.

 

one inch = 2.54 Cm

When we switched here.......most folks were lost......but over time......

 

Uhmm....

 

I think it's just a little student made mask. The appearance of the overglaze could be from not being fired at the right temperature. As students, we tended to experiment.

 

Hi all haven't been around in quite some time. I was able to find out it was a decorative mardi gras mask. Nothing too exiting but still a cool find in my opinion.

 

I wish more people would provide such updates, thank you for taking the time!

 

Sorry for taking so long to update. Been busy doing house projects haven't even been able to get out.
