Balinese Mask

The mask carver is called the 'undagi tapel' and those who make the mask posses an extremely high level of skill. Masks of the Barong and Rangda are opulently painted and assembled with real hair, enormous teeth, and bulging eyes. The wood used ranges from mahogany, suar, crocodile and sono wood and they can use over 30 different tools to carve certain pieces of wood.
There are four types of Bali masks which can be found, human masks, animal masks, god masks and demon masks and depending on what dance it is for, they could be whole masks or half masks.
Bali is rich in tradition, culture, beauty and talent and if you come through, pop into our gallery and shop and we would be be happy to explain all the different traditional and modern masks we have.
