smbm1: Ceremonial Dance Mask.
Batak people. Sumatra Island, Indonesia.
Hardwood. H: 11" (27.9 cm), W: 7.3" (18.6 cm), D: 4" (10.2 cm).
With a custom mount.
Ceremonial dance mask with crown, oversized ears, and detailed eyebrows.
Note: This mask was likely carved by the same hand as #dr3 in the Mask Gallery.
The type of wood, unpainted surface, size, and style, including the same pointed
chin, are extremely similar to the other mask. It is probable these two masks were
carved at the same time to be used together as two separate but compatible characters
in the same ceremony.
