Vintage Terra Cotta Art Pottery Tribal Ethnic Wall Art Face Mask
I have six small mask of some type of orange or pumpking color pottery they range in size from L5 in W4 in to L6 in W5 in and weigh between 8.5 to 10.5 oz. Them seem to be painted or stained to give the dark appearence in the front but original clay shows in the back. They were on ebay for 11.99 to 14.99 of course the bigger ones the more expensive. I emailed the guy and he told me he got them from an estate sale, he didn't say how much because he said he bought a bundle of items on one huge lot. He said the items listed as: Vintage Terra Cotta Art Pottery Tribal Ethnic Wall Art Face Mask. I offered him 10 bucks a piece and 20 shipping and handling he took the offer. He said he has bought huge lots and sold items seperately for a business profit. He said he has sold old military items, civil war relics, paintings...etc..etc.. and people have profited that bought the items.
Unknown. Seller said he got in a lot at an estate sale and item listed as Vintage Terra Cotta Art Pottery Tribal Ethnic Wall Art Face Mask.

Hello Ran,
Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with MeArto. The items presented appears to be earthenware ethnographic masks in the Pre-Columbian and Central American style. Although, these masks are Pre-Columbian and Central American in style, they are dated to modern times, circa 20th century.
Based on the image uploaded, they do not present any concerning conditions. They appear to be in good vintage condition. Based on today's auction market, a collection of six Pre-Columbian or Central American masks in comparable dimensions range in estimates of $25 - 150, USD. Please understand asking prices, dealer prices, or private sale prices vary greatly.
Thank you. Please take care and stay healthy.
