\"\"<\/a>Q:\u00a0<\/strong> Found this mask at a local flea market this summer.\u00a0 Didn’t pay much for it, or several others from the same guy.\u00a0 I have not seen any like them before.\u00a0 The top is an old cloth with a soft wood framework supporting it. Not counting all the raffia it is about 10 inches long by 7 inches wide.\u00a0 Height is 5 inches. \u00a0I really got lucky at the flea market when I picked up these 9 great masks for under two hundred dollars.\u00a0 Fred, 1236<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong>\u00a0 I’m going to guess and say this comes from the Piaroa-Huarime people who live along the Orinoko River in the northern Amazon basin. It might help if you would send a group photo of the other 8 masks. What we have now looks like an animal. What about the others? Is there one that looks like a capybara? Another like a tapir?\u00a0 I know, I’m getting carried away. Let’s keep working on this. It is an authentic-looking mask made carefully with indigenous materials… and it might be very collectible.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
