<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9778790, member: 2844&quot;]Yes, it is hand drawn/painted, from the village of Batuan, Bali. It is a scene from a Barong dance.</p><p>The Batuan style is my favourite style.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> It is always nice quality. The people of Batuan (nearly) all belong to the priestly caste, and most of their subjects are religious, as is this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Barong is the ruler of the forest animals. He can change into any animal shape, but his favourite transformation is the lion. He fights against the &quot;bad guys&quot;, in this case spirits beings&nbsp; who are possessed by Rangda, an evil widowed queen. A fight of good against evil.</p><p>Barong is on the right, the top figure is the possessed spirit. I forgot what they are called, something with &#039;Le&#039;.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie19" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> If I remember I&#039;ll post it here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
