\"\"<\/a>Q:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 This mask measures 10″ high by 7″wide. \u00a0A tag inside says it is from Columbia. \u00a0An interesting feature is that the wooden ears are tied to the back of the natural \u00a0fiber covering, and they extend out when worn. \u00a0I got this one on eBay for $35 last winter.\u00a0 Thank you for any comment. \u00a0 \u00a0Alfredo, 1327<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong>\u00a0 Colombia extends into the northwest part of the huge Amazon basin. According to Barbara Braun in the Arts of the Amazon<\/em>, there are at least seven native cultures occupying this area. My guess would be the Guahibo people made it. What Alfredo thinks are ears could also be teeth or horns. I haven’t seen this kind of mask before.
