[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 219613, member: 2844"]I bought these for a song a few years ago from a Belgian dealer in African art. He knew they were not African. Are they genuine North West Coast, or North West Coast inspired Balinese? If genuine, Haida and Tsimshian, something else? Possible artists, and value? The bear mask is a proper mask, the rope at the back is made of plant fibre and passes through double holes in the sides, and it fits around the head. The other one just has a screw at the back, with a synthetic cord. It does have the correct size and placement of the eyes and mouth for a wearable mask. The paint is more glossy than on the bear. Thanks for looking.
