What does this mean?

Dear Istvan,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the huge delay with the appraisal

The presented object appears to be a Mossi Karan Wemba African mask with the measurements of 126 cm x 67 cm x 22 cm. It was made out of painted wood and cypraeidaes. The oval face and the female figurine indicate that this mask was made by the Mossi tribe in the Yatenga region. It was made in the 20th century.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between to USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

With kind regards,
George
