Indonesian Wood Mask, Based

Weathered wood, a straight nose, and an expression of mild suspicion.

This mask comes from Borneo, Indonesia, and was carved in wood in the early 20th century. Masks across Borneo are commonly connected with ceremony and spirit beliefs. The face is long and oval, with a narrow ridge of a nose, small cut-out eyes and a mouth that hangs open with visible teeth. White pigment lingers around the brows and nose, with reddish traces below. The wood is dark and rubbed, with cracks across the surface. It stands on a black metal base.

About 10 inches tall. It will have an opinion about your dinner party.
