\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>Q:\u00a0 Hi there. My grandma has recently passed on. When I was growing up she had these creepy ass masks hanging in her one hallway. Well, I’m not sure if I would never forget them, but she\u00a0 left me all the masks in her will. No origin or any other info, she just said Erienne gets her favorite wall hangings (the masks). I was wondering if you could tell me anything about them, ie. orgin, worth, etc.\u00a0 1799<\/p>\n

A:\u00a0 For thousands of years Native American carvers have been making colorful masks for traditional dances and other ceremonies. Nowadays they are also made for collectors. It a shame you find them creepy. Many people love the way they look and are whiling to pay a lot of money for them. Well that’s okay, I know of people who can’t stand a bronze statue of Thomas Jefferson.<\/p>\n
