A large wooden mask.I got this mask out of a storage unit and I was hoping you could give me some information about it. It's about the size of a man's torso and weighs about 15-20 lbs.

You could always check with your local art history department in many colleges or museums. Or sending your info to this link - www.askart.com/price_artwork.aspx - This is a very heavy piece , and does not appear to be a mask that would be worn, which makes it even harder to place, without a professional.

Someone posted a similar question a while back. You need to find someone familiar with masks.

I do not research masks but I can make some suggestions that may help you find the information you're looking for.
Masks usually have special meanings and it is very difficult to determine what country they came from unless you have a lot of knowledge about masks in general.

The majority of masks that are normally seen are masks that countries made specifically for the tourist trade; especially the masks made in the 1960-1980's.

Try ask your question on Reddit as someone usually has information and they like to answer. Reddit can be confusing but join and ask questions if you have problems.
You can ask questions about this mask and also your painting and if you are working with items from storage units this is good site to use for all sorts of items.
