Pair Of Carved And Polychrome Wooden Masks – Bali – Indonesia – Mid-20th Century

Pair of Balinese masks carved from wood and painted in multiple colors, depicting figures with powerful expressions inspired by traditional Balinese theater

Although they appear intimidating, these Balinese masks are associated, in the Balinese Hindu tradition, with protective figures intended to ward off evil spirits

The bulging eyes, exposed fangs, the finely ornamented headdress, and the rich polychromatic paintwork are all evidence of beautiful craftsmanship. Hollowed out on the reverse and featuring a pleasant patina from use, they form an elegant decorative set

Dimensions of each mask: H 18 cm x W 14 cm

Careful shipping; tracked package within 24–48 hours
