A furrowed forehead, droopy mouth and twisted lip characterize this comical mask by Nyoman Naranata. It portrays Bondres. The much-loved clown in Balinese dance-drama, Bondres usually appears at the end of the performance to add a touch of comedy. The personage has even spawned a drama form of his own, known as Babondresan, to provide light entertainment.
Naranata sculpts this beautiful mask from smooth hibiscus wood. Polished to perfection, it is a delightful expression of Balinese tradition.
Hibiscus wood exhibits colors ranging from white to light gray, dark gray or even black heartwood. This natural occurrence can rarely be replicated, making each carving exceptionally unique. Please expect slight differences in wood grain color and distribution patterns. Theme and artistic quality remain the same.
