Description :

Balinese Hand-Carved Wooden Mask with Real Horse Hair – Traditional Island Craftsmanship 

Infused with spiritual symbolism and masterful artistry, this Balinese hand-carved wooden mask is a striking example of Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage. Painstakingly carved from a single piece of wood and adorned with real horse hair, the mask reflects the deep ritual and theatrical traditions of Balinese dance, ceremony, and folklore.

 Features:

  • Origin: Bali, Indonesia

  • Material: Hand-carved hardwood (typically suar or hibiscus wood)

  • Hair: Authentic horse hair detailing used for beard, eyebrows, or headdress

  • Finish: Hand-painted and/or stained with natural pigments and dyes

  • Design: Traditional Barong, Rangda, Topeng, or demon/guardian style (varies by mask)

Artistic & Cultural Significance:

Balinese masks are used in sacred dance dramas and temple rituals, each figure representing gods, spirits, or mythical creatures. The intricate detailing, expressive features, and natural materials lend this mask both aesthetic beauty and spiritual depth. The real horse hair adds dynamic movement and realism—especially when used in performance.
