Hello,
I'm looking to sell some Antique masks that I imported from Nepal last year. I got these in bulk.
If you know of a business which would be interested in buying these masks from me, or if you are interested in buying these for decorating your home interior with a handicraft piece from Nepal, please let me know. I'm in NC. I'm including few pics. These are decent size mask.

Thanks

jerryswari, do you really think majority of Nepalese buy these?
They make/buy it only to sell it to foreigners.

Since your prices are quite high, I would like to ask if you have some kind of certificate indicating that these are antique masks.
I see these all the time in bulk in many touristic spots in Nepal, especially in Thamel.
What kind of wood are these made out of? Where do they come from? What tribe? What part of Nepal? What are/were their purposes?
These are valid questions to be answered if these masks are really antique.

But jerryawari, I am not accusing you, but many people I have done business with in Nepal, mostly in Thamel, sell things claiming them to be something when they are not. For example, lots of shawls and blankets sold in Thamel as 100% yak wool are all synthetic or sheep wool.
Even the silver jewelry that are sold as 92.5% silver have less than 60% of silver in them. Let's not even talk about the gemstones. There are only a handful of sellers in Thamel that really know their product are care about authenticity. Most of them are there to rip-off tourists who when find out what they bought is not what they thought they bought, will realize that it is too late to take a flight back to Nepal for a return or refund.

Hurry - I understand your concern. I don't have any certificate like that. I would try to get answer for some of the good questions that you asked.
