Welcome Skander.
Probably not a goat, more likely an antelope. West African, but I don't know exactly which tribe. I will tag someone who'll know: @2manybooks .

 

Welcome, @Skander S.

Your mask is a type called a "helmet" mask, which is worn on top of the head, and depicts an antelope. Based on the style, it was probably made by a Bobo artist , from Burkina Faso, West Africa. Here is a similar one in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum -

And here is some more information about the antelope (nyanga) masking tradition among the Bobo -
