372: Mask. Wood, hair, foil, rattan, cane. H: 18", W: 24", D: 15". Early 20th century.
Kontu (Kantuk) Dayak, West Kalimantan, Borneo Island, Indonesia.

With the large nose, big ears, "rosy" checks, and facial hair, this mask
likely represents a European. Another interpretation is a proboscis monkey.
