I also want to point out that it is not a mask. My definition of mask is something meant to be worn for ceremony, celebration, or some other function. This piece is meant to be decorative art. Perhaps someone reading this post will recognize the style as coming from a particular culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: I think this is bronze.
