Hand Carved Hibiscus Wood Mask with Stand, "Bewitched"
Casting a spell of bewilderment upon the viewer, this mask's mysterious design beckons attention. Hand carved from hibiscus wood containing variegated shades of cream, brown, and olive green, Indonesian artist Gusti Ngurah Semarajaya uses a bold red on the mask's enigmatic smile and paints a gothic-style design, analogous to Indonesian tattoos, on one side of the mask. The mask, an original work signed by the artist, comes with a brown keruing wood base for easy display.

"Cherished item"
Bought this item for myself and it is more beautiful in person. The inside is lined in velvet if you wish to store something. Great detail in the painting and carving. Love the elephant on the top. Great workmanship.
