    Wanted to know who or what is being represented in this carved wood mask, face with small skull atop ? Overall dimensions are 18 x 20 inches & 4 deep. shows some wear - guessing it may be 50 years old.

    It looks like a sun mask to me. There are different versions.

    There's a little owl atop so think perhaps a mascara de buho like these.
