About the Item
This striking hand-carved Balinese demon mask is an authentic example of traditional Indonesian ritual craftsmanship, carved from solid wood and constructed to be worn in performance. Executed as a two-piece construction, the mask features a fully articulated lower jaw that moves in sync with the wearer’s mouth—an important functional detail associated with ceremonial dance and theatrical storytelling traditions of Bali.
The surface is hand painted, with expressive coloration enhancing the mask’s fierce, animated character. Thick animal fur eyebrows add dramatic texture and dimensionality, while prominent hand-carved tusks project outward, reinforcing the mask’s powerful, mythic presence. The carving shows intentional asymmetry and hand-tooled marks, underscoring its handmade origin rather than decorative reproduction.
Both sculptural and performative, this mask reads equally well as a wall-mounted object or as a collectible example of Southeast Asian ceremonial art. Its scale and expressive detailing make it a compelling focal point in an interior, particularly within eclectic, tribal, or globally influenced design settings.
