I bought this wooden mask at the Rose Bowl Flea Market today. It's 33 inches tall, with a gecko design on the forehead, and flames around the eyes and chin. It's hard to show all the detail in the photos. Any one recognize if this is really tiki? African? Oceanic Arts? Mexican? Also, any suggestions on preserving the wood and/or staining the wood to bring out the detail? I'm not sure what kind of wood it is.
