content: A wooden mask that has been carved to resemble a dragon or demon, likely from Indonesia. The mask has exaggerated features including bulging eyes, large teeth, fangs, and a long, curling forked tongue. The face is painted in a number of colors including red, green, gold, black, yellow, and white. The paper tongue is red on top and yellow on the underside with many decorative shapes cut out of it. The back of the mask is unpainted and has a section carved out where the eyes, nostrils, and mouth are located. The paper tongue is affixed to the mask on the lower portion of mouth opening and two other decorative paper features at the sides of the mouth are affixed through small slits in the wood. There is a nail with some rope attached embedded near the top of the mask.
