This looks like it may be Yoruban considering the markings on the cheeks and the slightly bulging eyes. Almost certainly West African. However, I don't think that it's authentic, the patina looks too even and the level of skill doesn't look all that high. Probably made for tourism. Take it in to a store that sells authentic masks, they will be able to tell you for sure what it is.

Wigs, Masks and Hats, a Must Have in Your Party Arsenal

There are some parties in your annual events calendar that rarely change, basically birthday parties, anniversary parties, plus holidays and seasonal celebrations as well. However, throughout the year many other events are added to you calendar as they come such as bridal and baby showers, wedding ceremonies, employment-related and coaching events, friends reunion, and many more.

Despite we would like to make of each of those planned and unplanned events a unique celebration, the true fact is that we cannot always afford a fashionable costume or a new party dress or jacket. Here is where wigs, masks, and hats take place, because these accessories are similar to others in your wardrobe that you use to mix and match your actual apparel.

Accessories can make of an ordinary black dress a glamorous nighttime gown, and a simple sport jacket can look like a classic outfit if you add to it a designer scarf that obviously cost much more less than a tuxedo or a formal jacket to dress up. I you apply this concept to your party apparel, if you have a vampire costume for Halloween that you worn the past year, make of it a new fashionable outfit by adding to it an appropriate mask.

Party dressing accessories are cheaper than full featured costumes, although many of these come already with their own setup of dressing accessories to round your fantasy appearance. Even though, if you have a fully featured witch costume with a hat and mask, buy a green wig and especial facial makeup to give it another renewed look.

MoonCostumes is a costumes, accessories, and party supplier that can deliver promptly whatever you need to enhance your party arsenal. Wigs, masks, hats, facial and body makeup, temporary tattoos and a series of many other accessories can be mixed and matched with different costumes or every days dresses, skirts, pants, shirts, and jackets so your possibilities to look different in every event that you give or you attend.

Of course, you can buy a few basic new costumes to complete your party wardrobe and that of your children as well. Mooncostumes.com has also costumes for pet because, after all, your pets are also part of your family and they also deserve some fun time... although it is funny too look like your lovely kitty becomes a fierce lion.

Because most dressing accessories are unisex, you do not need to buy a wig for him and another for her, and same thing applies to hats and masks. In fact is pretty funny that a girl disguised like a nasty Jason, the creepy guys from Friday the 13th movie. Despite there are expressly female and male costumes, party time makes no sex difference and it is common to see temporary gender role changes in some parties as they are just part of the entertainment and you know, the show must go on.
