content: A carved wooden mask in the style of wayang-topeng dance-and-drama shows common in Indonesia. This figure is wearing an elaborate crown and has a protruding, almost snout-like face. It also features jagged sharp teeth, large eyes, and a goatee, all of which indicate this mask represents an evil character. The face is painted white with features outlined in black and red. The crown is gold with red, blue, and white detailing. The interior of the mask has carved out spaces for the eyes and mouth and some pigment stains. There is some significant cracking below the right eye and repairs are visible on the interior.
