- Lot Description
Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Java or Bali, ca. late 20th century CE. An expressive wooden festival mask with painted motifs and raffia fiber hair details. The fierce face represents a monkey figure that is part of the Ramayana story and may even represent Hanuman, the monkey companion to Rama. The mask verso has a clever woven wood domed frame shaped like a cap that is covered with a cloth and raffia which nearly completely hides the wearer's head. The lower jaw is a separate piece that is attached with slightly flexible plates, that allow the jaw to wobble to create a more animated visage. Masks like this example have been worn for centuries during dramatic dances for festivals, and the Ramayana is a popular reenactment, as it is one of the largest Hindu epics that narrates the life of Rama. Size (mask): 10" L x 9" W (25.4 cm x 22.9 cm); (raffia strands): 14" L (35.6 cm)
Provenance: private Lumberton, Texas, USA collection, acquired before 2010
