[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 85543, member: 301"]I didn't show any real ones xcept the large bronze . but look at this......here's the authentic mask from the book......circa 1994 [ATTACH=full]21707[/ATTACH] Here's a common fake.....& u can see just how well the Bali carvers can copy from a photo.... [ATTACH=full]21708[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]21709[/ATTACH] I show the back because it's always a dead give a way to the fakes. The offshore wood that's been sanded smooth.....is a mark of the Indonesian carvers, who don't ever see photo's of the back of the masks they are copying !!!!! and here is one of the newer aged masks.....same design.....signed Bearly Laughable !
