Indonesian Carved Hardwood Mask
20th Century

This finely carved vintage Indonesian hardwood mask depicts a serene female face, rendered with graceful symmetry and expressive, stylised features. The polished surface reveals a rich, warm patina developed through age and handling, enhancing the sculptural depth of the carving.

The mask is attractively mounted on woven mat board and presented within a solid wood frame, creating a striking wall display suitable for both traditional and contemporary interiors. The refined facial expression and elaborate headdress detailing reflect stylistic influences commonly associated with Balinese and Javanese ceremonial carving traditions.

Masks of this type were traditionally used in ritual performances, dance, and cultural storytelling, and are now highly sought after as decorative ethnographic artworks. This example offers both strong visual presence and authentic craftsmanship, making it an excellent addition for collectors of Asian art, tribal artefacts, or distinctive interior pieces.
