Large Hand-Carved Wooden Polynesian Tribal Mask in Matching Wood Shadowbox Frame

Description

I imagine that if I was to take this mask off its mounting, I might find some makers marks to indicate the artist, and perhaps a date or place of origin. But alas, I don't want to risk damaging the ultra-suede backing, so I regret that I don't have access to that information -- should it actually exist on the back. What I do know is that it came from an extremely wealthy estate belonging to an extremely well-traveled couple, who no doubt purchased the mask somewhere in Polynesia and brought it home to be mounted and framed in this extraordinary shadowbox.
The shadowbox frame measures 21.5" wide x 23" tall x 4.25" deep and weighs 11 pounds 2 ounces. The mask itself measures 10" wide x 12" tall x 3.5" deep and features some brilliant carving as well as some well-placed silver and gold metal accent pieces. It's a gorgeous mask in a gorgeous shadowbox frame worthy of a featured place in someone's estate.
