<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 9542702, member: 8267&quot;]It may be an (incomplete) headdress from Vanuatu, of a type used in &quot;tamate&quot; dances that honor the dead. They are constructed on such domed frameworks, made of split bamboo, and surmounted by a variety of effigy figures. Here are some photos showing them in use, taken from an article by Bernard Vienne: Masked Faces from the Country of the Dead; published in <u>Arts of Vanuatu</u>, University of Hawai’i Press, 1996.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]453770[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]453773[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>More information on such masks, and references, here -</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://encyclocraftsapr.com/mask-making/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://encyclocraftsapr.com/mask-making/" rel="nofollow">https://encyclocraftsapr.com/mask-making/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
