Framework of ornamental Indonmesian mask
-
Description
This extraordinary Indonesian mask from the 20th century, masterfully carved from wood and hand-painted, evokes the allure and mystery of ancient theatrical and ritual traditions. The face, outlined with bold lines and vibrant colors of green and red, captivates the eye and seems to tell tales of old ceremonies, myths, and protective deities. The wide, expressive, and hypnotic eyes give the mask a sense of authority and mystical presence.
The craftsmanship is evident in the intricate decorations framing the face, such as the elegantly sculpted hair adorned with a flower that expresses a deep connection to nature. The hand-painted strokes possess a vivid and authentic appearance, amplifying the historical and cultural value of the piece.
This mask is not just a work of art but a window into a culture rich in symbolism, perfect for decorating a space that aims to convey a sense of exoticism, spirituality, and timeless beauty. In every detail, the energy of Indonesian traditions is palpable, bringing into a home or private collection a piece that encapsulates centuries of history and mysticism. -
