[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 381206, member: 55"]I'm thinking it is from Alaska, most likely, not a traditional Inuit mask, but intended to represent an Eskimo, for tourist sale. Similar to the one below, sold by liveauctioneers for an unknown price, as a 20th century mask representing an Eskimo. Disclaimer: this is a bit outside my area of expertise, so I would certainly defer to others with more knowledge. And I'd think Ainu is another real possibility, though again, outside my area.
