This is a hand made paper mache halloween mask or decorative mask.  This was an estate sale purchase and I am not sure about the history or age of this, it appears to be fairly old, It measures roughly 11" tall x 7" wide.  there is a small piece of wood with a notch in it on the upper inside for easy hanging.  This oddity is a unique find and displays beautifully.  Please see the photos for the best description and if you have any questions please ask.
