    ~10" long, ~4 3/8" wide, ~2 1/4" deep; 5 3/4 oz.
    I don't think this is of particular interest, except perhaps for the coloring...an' the oddly finished left eye. But it was hanging with the next two I'll post, so here it is. SE Asia? Or, where in the world?
    Thanks for lookin'!

    Elongated "masks" are a common tourist/export item from Bali; however, this is not quite the style one would expect from that area; so I also am somewhat mystified. This almost looks like it might have been repainted.

    Awesome-I like Roth's 'Hillbilly Crash Helmet' (above).Before Beatles & Hippies,after Beatniks,when there were Surfers & Piston Heads-there was 'The Roth'-Kustom Kar Kulture.

    Yep-sometime between the very end of the Eisenhower era & the death of Kennedy, when Elvis was in the Army and Rock & Roll had gone schmalzy-came the Kustom Kar Surfing Skatebord Discoteque Jetsons Age.
    Hot Rods & Jalopies stated getting super-customized by guys like George Barris & Ed Roth into candy-flaked chopped & channeled extravaganzas.
