I'm curious to know the origins of this mask. I picked it up at a garage sale around 1990 in Pacific Beach/San Diego for $5 or less. It's 25 inches in height and 11 inches across. It's made from a heavy/dense wood which is carved to no less than a half inch at it's thinnest near the edges.

Not that I'm looking to sell the mask, but is there a monetary value on a mask like this? There is no doubt in my mind the money I spent was well worth it. I'm Just curious to know what I've got.

Any insight is appreciated.
