I will say it is a traditional Maori design with abalone shell eyes, but it&#8217;s a decor item bought at a museum shop, not a real mask. Polynesian masks are hardly ever seen except in a few museums and books. The Maori and some other Polynesian cultures were also skilled at tattooing and their designs have have influenced the rest of the world in that art. I&#8217;ll bet this looks great on your wall.
