    I don't recognize the style, could be India or Nepal. It is nice, and could be based on an actual dance mask.
    No sorry. Probably something to do with a local story, possibly about Krishna.

    I think just about every culture has something like that. A life lesson.;)
    Where did it say the mask was from?

    From Goodwill:)
    Maybe they are modern artisan pieces. Possibly made in Indonesia? But rare till I find other similar online :)

    :hilarious:
    It doesn't look like a traditional Indonesian item, but I have lost track of what the Balinese get up to nowadays.:rolleyes:

    This is a more traditional Indonesian 'painted face' mask, from East Java:
