Looks to have honest wear and good age to me? Some of wooven material is also torn and unraveling. The wooden part is 24cm long and 14cm wide (overall it’s 40cm long with the wooven hood folded flat) Pity about the recent damage to the wood area. Can the mask be antique? Thank you for any comments

    Nice find. There are a few on Etsy, maybe you've seen them already.
    Vintage probably. Could be 1960s-70s, but @2manybooks probably knows.

    Thanks for the reply AJ,yes I did see some of the ones on Etsy. Vintage is also good enough. This was about $4 (can’t beat that :))
