Thank you!

I don't have a good explanation for the large, rough hole on the base, or the rather mechanical looking striations and swirls in the metal...

I suspect your mask is a tourist craft. It looks like it is made from the fruit of the calabash tree, Crescentia cujete, which grows throughout...
