Item Details
Description
Indonesia, Bali or Java, ca. late 19th century CE. This is a hand carved wood mask with wide, staring eyes and a pronounced pointed nose. The face is painted pink, with black and red details. Atop the head is a painted crown, and there are curved, black painted details that suggest hair on the side of the face. This mask is from the centuries-old Topeng tradition, made to be worn during the dramatic dances enacted in Bali and to a lesser extent Java that depict traditional stories of kings, princes, heroes, and myths. Size: 6.125" W x 7.5" H (15.6 cm x 19 cm)

Provenance: ex-Adeon Gallery, Chicago, IL, acquired prior to 1970
