Q: When I got this years ago the owner seemed to put great value on it and said that it was an authentic tribal mask. Frank, 11-18-11, 241

A: It's a large tribal mask made of bark cloth and some wooden pieces that fits over the head. That big nose is wood. Probably from the Amazon region, perhaps the Ticuna Indians in NW Brazil.
