So here&#8217;s the bad news. Masks like this are simple and crude, with very few design features that might aid me in my search. I might find something like it that comes from Nepal and then, later on, something similar from a remote area of Mexico, or even another part of the world. Or I may not find anything that looks like it. Some masks are very hard to identify.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q:\u00a0 I picked up this mask at a yard sale. \u00a0To me it looks very old. \u00a0Wondering if you knew what kind of mask this was or anything about it. \u00a0Its made of wood you can see its hand carved. \u00a0It&#8217;s approximately 9.5 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide.\u00a0 Heather, 771 A:\u00a0 Thanks for sharing your recent find which I think resembles a dog or some other animal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2527,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-india-himalayas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2518"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2518\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3402,"href":"https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2518\/revisions\/3402"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2527"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/masksoftheworld.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
