My Love Affair With Masks; Entry #11

For my 11th entry in this series of my personal mask collection, I chose to feature one that appears as though its origins can be found in the Middle East...and there is a bit of truth in that assessment. I actually claimed this prize while cruising up and down the North Carolina coast visiting several seaside towns and gift shops. If memory serves...and that's a big "IF" nowadays...I picked this one up somewhere along the Outer Banks, I'm guessing in the Nag's Head region, which is a favorite destination of mine. Anyway, an Indian family owned the little gift shop we ducked into, and although there were many interesting items available, my eye set on this masterpiece. It is the largest wood carved creation in my collection and I really like the intricate details of the head gear for this visage.
