Vintage Hand Carved Maori New Zealand Wooden Face Mask With Paua Shell Eyes

The wordMorirefers to the indigenous people ofNew Zealandand their language. Mask is 11"t 7"w. It is a traditional Maori design with abalone shell eyes, but it's a decor item bought at a museum shop, not a real mask. Polynesian masks are hardly ever seen except in a few museums and books.

The Maori and some other Polynesian cultures were also skilled at tattooing, and their designs influenced the rest of the world in that art. Ill bet this looks great on your wall.

Item I photos is what you are purchasing.
