Indonesia, mid-20th century, delightful mask from the Barong theater. This colorful and very expressive mask was part of a famous mask show from Indonesia: the Barong. The masks of the Barong theater are generally spectacular and very representative of the culture of Bali. Its threatening and angry appearance helps to scare away evil spirits. These masks are considered sacred and, before each performance, they are sprinkled with holy water and offered. This demonstrates how symbolic and meaningful this dance is and displays the constant struggle between good and evil. Dimensions: Height 33 (cm) - Width 37 (cm).
