Description from the seller
De Barong is een mythical protector of Bali that symbolizes the victory of Dharma (Good) over Adharma (Evil). As a protective figure it stands for protection and balance, making it a valuable addition to your interior, both at home and in your business. This handmade piece, crafted by skilled Balinese artisans, combines intricate wood carving with decorative artistry and reflects the essence of traditional Balinese culture, mirroring the authenticity and grandeur of the Balinese Barong.
Some scratches and wear with a fantastic patina from the lifetime, small nicks here and there, normal for the age and contributing to the authenticity of the item. It is a handmade "God Barong" mask for decorative purposes, carved in teak wood by artisans from the island of Bali, Indonesia. Barong is a mythological figure on the island of Bali... He was a demon who turned to good and became the leader of the powers of good, king of the spirits and protector of the island of Bali. Balinese culture is closely related to Barong; several typical dances in the region are for the God Barong.
It is placed on a custom-made stand (stand height 58 cm) and the mask itself measures approximately 48x15x14 cm. Personally I find the expression of the image very beautiful; it seems that the expression appears different from another angle—pure craftsmanship. This is NOT a tourist piece, but a truly original specimen found in Gianyar / Bali. The statue is made from real teak wood and weighs over 2.2 kilos including the stand.
Although this statue shows light signs of use, it has a wonderfully rich decoration. The patina of the wood, indicating substantial age, combined with the elegant design, makes it a beautiful object and a collector's item!
