The Barong mask is a critical part of the Barong dance, one of Bali's most important religious traditions. The Barong is a benevolent deity, and he is one of the most important members of the Hindu Balinese pantheon. He often descends during religious ceremonies and enters the body of a medium. The medium falls into a trance and dances the Barong dance. This exquisite mask is hand-carved from crocodile wood by Nyoman Indrawati Subrata of the Subrata Family. She carries on the extraordinary art work of her late father, Nyoman Subrata.
