Hello all, I have this mask ornament, that I acquired over a decade ago in a church hall market from a retired lady. She said she got it in Formosa/Taiwan where she worked after ww2. She went on to explain that they were attached to the outside of hill tribes peoples homes as a good talisman, length 31cm. This may all be a load of old nonsense, hopefully someone might be able to say yes or no. I know I am drifting off from weapons but I thought I might just squeeze it in this little discussed area.
What fun! you can see my warm rosy glowing aura permeate the picture

no it is morning sun light reflecting off a shiny red painted wall
