What does this mean?

This is an early 20th century, Asian carved wood mask of a bearded man with inset bone or ivory eyes and teeth, These were made as decorative wall art for export in both China and Japan. They are often catalogued as carved rosewood and is more likely such than teak. The estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
