<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 123438, member: 55"]Not real Africans, certainly! But if we're talking Bali tourist items, with a fantasy-African theme, anything goes. Like the Lombok baskets with giraffes, zebras, hippos; I'm pretty sure none of those creatures are found in Indonesia; and somehow I'm getting a Bali vibe from this. And they just make stuff up, so if it does come from Indonesia it could be just somebody's fantasy of what an African or Pacific Rim mask might look like.</p><p> If I had time I'd search some of the websites of the Bali export/import trade; but they make so many masks in so many styles that it would take a while.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
