<p>[QUOTE="Armando0831, post: 27719, member: 305"][ATTACH=full]6881[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]6882[/ATTACH] I found this over a year ago and did some research on it. I'm finding ritual dance Topeng masks. It's a little confusing to me, sorry. I know that in Indonesia they hold festivals and there are plays that they do that are ritualistic. They use mask to depetic a character they are performing. I've looked and haven't found one like mine. Someone said it resembles a figure of royalty, that only "God" figures had a green face. All Iknow is, this piece seems very old and very authentic. It appears to have multiple layers of paint on it. The back, you can see has been hand carved, very roughly at that too. I noticed that appears that someone wore this alot because I see what appears the outline of aface and then you see the dark discoloration. I found this piecereally cool.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
