Demon mask Bali, Indonesia
22 inches, painted wood
Q: It's
about 22 inches high and 8 inches across. We think
my grandmother brought it back around 1975 from
Bali. Unfortunately
that's all I know.

A:
In many ways it looks Balinese, but it has a Chinese opera feel
to it as well. It is beautifully designed and crafted, and that
tall headdress is spectacular. Probably made for wealthy people
to display in their homes. Collectors of either masks or Asian
art will want this piece.
