Barong appears in this fascinating mask by Made Mulyani. Also known as Bhoma, Barong represents the goodness that destroyed the evil Rangda. His adventures are reenacted in the form of a dance and his image is also hung on doors in Bali to ward off evil spirits.
Please note that wood color and grain can vary significantly from one piece to the next; this makes each mask a unique piece of art.

"Absolutely Remarkable!"
I am an American, and have had an interest in Indonesian culture for much of my life. This mask of Bhoma the Protector is one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful mask I have ever seen come out of Bali. I was absolutely stunned when I opened the package. This beautiful piece by Made Mulyani was carved with love, compassion and an amazing amount of skill. I am truly appreciative of all the work she put into this. Even the wood itself was wonderful just to hold and feel. Further, the packaging so that the mask would make it safely to the U.S. was done with such care I have to mention that here too. Thank you Novica. Thank you Made Mulyani. I am so happy to have this treasure in my home. This mask without question truly is the soul of Bali.
