Hello Linda, This is a carved wooden mask probably from West Africa. Pieces like this have been made in Angola in the early 20th century, massively for Western collectors. The hair appears to be made of straw. I was able to find similar pieces sold at auction. Pre-auctions estimates ranged quite a bit and generally were higher than hammer prices. Some estimates for masks were as high as $400. However, my estimate is in line with realized sales. The Fair Market Value of this mask, based on sales, is between $100 and $200.
