Really though, I'm no expert. For all I know it's an exact copy of a real one.
I know that it isn't a real one, but I think it was made in Bali. It was probably part of a mass produced set of them that some company paid for. I really want to get a real one though. Hopefully I'll go to Bali some day and get it in person. My cousin is going to be an exchange student in Malaysia, so I want to see if she'll bring one of their masks back for me. Since Malaysia is close to Indonesia, I'll give her a picture of a real Bali mask and see if whe runs into one by chance.
