I received the result of the expertise both curators from The Royal Museums of Brussels; the mask is original, a rare mask of Nô, but the frame is a modern addition (probably to sell a piece like this and make it more appealing for the Western market. The frame was most likely added during the seventies. Well, now I am fixed and know what's going on, still happy about the whole piece tho.
