Does anyone know where there is made? it's old? it's valuable or collected? thanks!

looks like a mask demond, but not sure.

I've tried online searches with no luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi I reckon it is from Indonesia. Bali. Near Ubud.

I have some Balinese ancestor portraits here. They are done from the same wood. http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/19156-balinese-ancestor-portraits
The Balinese are master carvers.
Hindu too!
Barong is the term for these I think in Indonesian.
