I suspect they came from http://www.balifurnish.com/new/mask2.html , but I can't locate them on there website. These mask might not even be made by the same maker because they have some major differences. The red one is about twice as heavy, made of much harder wood, is 1" shorter, has mother of pearl inlay, and has holes for the mouth and eyes. The red one is a lot nicer quality than the other mask, however they both came from the same yard sale. I am thinking these people traveled to Hawaii and purchased them. They stand right at 19" tall. Does anyone know the maker? Do you think the link listed is most likely the right source? Age? [ Edited by: mr2sharp 2009-11-06 17:37 ]
