- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $250**
Southeast Asia, Indonesia, East Java, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A hand-carved and hand-painted dramatic wood mask, probably depicting Klana, a character of the Wayang Topeng (masked dance) based on the adventures of the Javanese mythological hero Prince Panji. Klana Gandrung was Panji's worst enemy who pursued his lustful love for Panji's wife Candra Kirana. Clearly an angry and violent countenance, Klana would be the Javanese version of the Balinese Ravana from Wayang Wong. A fabulous example presenting an expressive visage comprised of bulging eyes under a curved unibrow, an elongated, upturned nose, parted lips bearing golden teeth and sharp fangs, and actual hair applied as a mustache. A horizontal band adorns the top of the brow, perhaps representing a headband or hairline. The entire face is painted in vibrant hues of crimson, burgundy, gold, black, and white. A pair of slits are featured beneath the eyes, allowing the wearer to see out of the vizard. The wearer of this mask most likely also wore a crown to complete Klana's costume. Size: 6" W x 7.125" H (15.2 cm x 18.1 cm)
