Difficult to comment without the 'hands on'................I do know that masks of this sort are being brought in from places like Bali Indonesia. Do a search of those and compare.

I'm not a expert but I have a few mask and they seem to range from 20-30 to a few hundred dollars. I'm sure there may be more expensive ones. I have 3 first is a Songhai Mask. The second is kissing mask from Kenya and one from the Bahamas.

ONe of my daughters believes that this is an African mask.  In her art classes they had to replicate masks that resembled this....with birds on the head!  So...it's a place to look!

it looks to me like a Masai mask from Kenya or Tanzania they were mostly used for decor in there homes. Depending on the collector the price varies from like $20-$40 dollars US money.
