Hello. I have had this mask for some time now. I was always curious about its origin and history.

    It is not a tribal style that I recognize. The red and black colors, at least, look like acrylic paint. And the woven portion of the beard looks machine made. It might be an unraveled length of old upholstery webbing made of hemp or jute. So it might be a piece of folk art rather than anything tribal.
