Many thanks for your input - here are some images of the back and side of the mask. The ears (one missing) and nose are attached separately with nails. Can you find anything similar in your books etc ?

Is it correct to say that art styles in Borneo could vary from tribe to tribe, as in Africa for example ?

Kind regards

Many thanks for your input, also. It could be assumed that the British collectors visited (or were colonials ?) in the northern or British part of Borneo. But of course, this may not have been the case. As mentioned above, can you give any guidance about different art styles etc to be found within Borneo, if they exist ?

Kind regards
Colin
