Q: I bought this antique mask with
a
funny facial expression
from a headhunting
tribe in Sarawak, Malaysia. Salzian,

A:
You know it comes from Borneo. All I can add is that it's used by
a Dayak shaman in healing ceremonies. It is most likely not an
antique, but rather a recent carving made to look old so it
fetches a better price from tourists.
