What does this mean?

Hi Kathleen,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
This mask doesn't fall readily into one specific culture, borrowing elements from several West African tribes and was probably made for the tourist market rather than for tribal use.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

A vintage carved West African mask
mid 20th Century
The elongated face with high elongated crown, tall forehead, exaggerated facial features. Inscribed on the back SEPE.
21 inches tall, 9 inches wide.
CONDITION: This mask appears to be in good age-appropriate condition.
PROVENANCE: Acquired from a gallery or dealer
$ 75-125*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, or questions/concerns, and thank you again for using Mearto.
