Indonesia, charming polychrome mask from the Barong theater, 1970. This colorful and expressive mask was used in a famous Indonesian masked dance performance: the Barong.

These masks are considered sacred and, before each performance, they are sprinkled with holy water and offerings are made to them. This demonstrates how symbolic and meaningful this dance is, portraying the constant struggle between good and evil. Dimensions: Height 25 x Width 20 x Depth 11 cm.
