Balinese Barong Mask

This exquisite Balinese Barong Mask, is handcrafted by a skilled artisan in a quaint warehouse. The elderly craftsman comes from a long line of barong mask makers, making this a truly special find.

In Balinese society, all Barong masks are considered to be sacred items and therefore demand careful and intricate artistry. For the Balinese, Barong is the symbol of health and good fortune. 

Although Barong masks have become popular items amongst collectors, to the Balinese they are much more than objects of aesthetic merit. Every Balinese village has a Barong that it considers its guardian. The Barong mask is a means of both giving the spirit tangible form and harnessing its energy. Stored in the village temple, the mask is brought out on special occasions and asked to bestow blessings on the community or restore the balance of cosmic forces.
