    Hi team, any thoughts?
    It has some age.

    As Debora found, a copy of a New Guinea mask held in the collection of the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.

    When posting such objects, please include size, what material you think it is made of (it appears to be ceramic?), and show a view of the back.

    Great response as ever - sorry I thought I included a picture of the back.
    I suspect aged due to rudimentary hanging pin. Also 38cm in height.
    Thanks !!!

    Looks like it is a plaster reproduction.

    Ah - Bog-standard mean - ordinary or basic.
