Character Mask Dieng Mountains, Java, Indonesia 8 inches, painted wood Has a mouth bit made from tire rubber. This older mask appears to have been used in village dances. Plenty of personality! There's an old mouthpiece on the rear. This kind of mask generally comes from the Dieng mountains located in Central Java and would have been owned by a topeng dance group from a small village. There are still some villages in the mountains that are quite isolated from the modern world, and where they are practicing topeng dance rituals. Typically a group will travel to entertain in other villages that don’t have their own dance troupe. $185
