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.

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-

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.

Nice finds. Can't wait to see if you got the other ones.
