Description from the seller
De Barong is a mythical guardian of Bali, symbolising the triumph of Dharma (Goodness) over Adharma (Evil). As a protective figure, he stands for protection and balance, making him 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 signs of wear and a fantastic patina from age, small nicks here and there which are normal for the age and contribute to the authenticity of the item. It is a handmade "God Barong" mask for decoration, carved in teak wood by island Bali artisans, Indonesia. Barong is a mythological figure on the island of Bali... He was a demon who turned toward good and became the leader of the forces of good, king of the spirits and guardian of the island of Bali. Bali culture is strongly linked to Barong, several typical dances in the region are for the God Barong.
It is placed on a custom-made stand (height on stand 58 cm) and the dimensions of the mask itself are approximately 48x15x14 cm. Personally I find the expression of the figure very beautiful, it seems that the expression looks different from another angle, pure craftsmanship. This is NOT a tourist piece, but a real original specimen found in Gianyar / Bali. The statue is therefore made of real teak wood and weighs over 2.2 kilograms in total with stand.
Although this statue shows slight signs of use, it has a fantastically rich decoration. The patina of the wood, indicating considerable age, combined with the elegant design, makes it a beautiful object and a collector’s piece!
