\"\"<\/a>Q:\u00a0 I have a wooden hand carved mask. It \u00a0is 18H x 12.5W x 11D. It was found in storage auction unit that I won. I only know that previous owner traveled a lot in Asia, Africa and many \u00a0islands, and from every place he brought something. Wood masks, sculptures, helmets etc, nothing contemporary but \u00a0usually very \u00a0old antiques and he furnished his house with expensive furniture, pirate furniture made of wood of sunken ships. This mask is one of the collection. Where is it from? How old could it be and how much could it cost. Please, could you help me with that?\u00a0 Eva, 1481<\/p>\n

A:\u00a0 Eva hasn’t given us much to go on. I’m stumped. It could be any of the following:\u00a0 Authentic mask<\/strong> from some unknown culture, Tourist mask<\/strong> from somewhere, or Art project<\/strong> from a school, prison, hobbyist, etc. Please comment with your guess.\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
