Arnel's wall mask

A wall mask with Arnel's impressed in the back. Could be a hobby pottery piece. NZ?

google has references to an American company in Beaverton, Oregon. "Arnels makes molds for ceramics, that is why the owls looked homemade. "Arnel's Ceramic Molds Leader in the ceramic mold industry since 1953! Welcome to the next generation of Ceramics! Whether you are an artistic hobbyist, an art instructor or a finished-ware, greenware or bisque manufacturer, Arnel's designs every mold for your success"." from: http://www.antique-shop.com/forums/index.php?topic=8305.0

A company called Macky's Molds seems to have bought Arnel's in 2004 and still supplies some of the same molds: http://www.mackymolds.com/myweb/arnel.htm
