Does it continue the running theme throughout the film? The things I can think of are:

Don't ever be ashamed of who you are -Norman

and

Then why does he wear a mask? What's he got to hide? -Jameson

Obviously, the two main characters wear a mask (Green Goblin and Spider-Man). Is the totem/mask scene trying to show the split personality of Norman Osborn/Green Goblin?

This is a case of the tail wagging the dog. Raimi decided that Osborne needed to be masked in order to become a (non-goofy) recognisable Green Goblin character. To that end, the producers need to show the evolution of his mask and hence decided to add masks to the mansion.

“Once we got on the set, the costume
wasn’t too big of a deal,” he [Defoe] adds. “The suit
was designed and very functional, and I had
to wear the mask. It was a hard mask, and
some people even referred to it as a helmet. I
could put the mask on and take it off, and
there’s a good tie-in to the mask in the film.
You see Norman Osborn in his study, and it’s
clear that he collects masks. You also see the
suit and the mask being developed in his laboratory. So they don’t come out of nowhere.
In the same way that Peter designs his Spider-Man costume, Norman inadvertently
designs his Green Goblin costume.”
