<p>[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 1592049, member: 45"]The third piece isn't really based on any particular traditional mask, although it does appear to be African, carved for the tourist market. It has some characteristics of being from the Ivory Coast area, with the long nose that extends into the arched eyebrows, the horns, and "scarification" marks on the forehead, but is more a fantasy piece than a representation of a known mask.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
