Strange African mask and statue

[pugwrangler]

Picked up these two items at gw for $10 a piece. Anyone have any clue what they are? Should I go back to buy the rest? Thanks.

More pics.
The statue seems to have copper on the face and a soft leather "pouch" by the testicles. The mask is very well made and creepy as all heck.

The statue is a type of fetish statue. More research needed as to what tribe. It's similar to this power fetish statue from the Congo-
Huge African Songye Nkishi Power Fetish Figure Protector Of The Village, Congo
The mask appears to be a "Dan Guerre" mask from the Dan tribe or the Guerre tribe. Here is a little info and a similar- African Masks - Dan Guerre Mask - Dan Tribe - from GenuineAfrica.com

Since this was a TS find, I just wanted to let you know we have a thrift store forum on here too- Thrift Stores
I doubt everyone knows about it yet since it appeared out of the blue one day without notice in it's own section.
