Secret mask?

Or Seacret Mask? This is a face I painted on a palm frond base that I obtained from Seacrets in Ocean City, Maryland. I used to go there way back when it truly was a secret, and the only ways in were for (locals) who walked or came in by boat. No highway signs, adverts, bus sponsorships, hotels, wet T-shirt contests, metal detectors, etc. like they have today (OK, there was the odd wet T-shirt contest).

Anyway, I noted that there is something suggestive of a face in these things, so I took a stab at decorating one. It's vaguely Maori looking, although my painting pattern started out pretty randomly...
