A pair of Balinese Barong masks. One a repainted yellow lion adorned with gold and pink flowers that I gave a gold tooth. The other a black panther with its original worn and scuffed paint adorned with gold.

Close up of the yellow lion repaint from the side showing its wide red dripping smile, bulging orange eyes, and pink floral details in its ears and at its crown.

Black panther with original paint up close. Its got bulging red eyes, a wide red smile, and some small scuffs, stains, and chips all over.

Couldn't find my gold leaf for lion Barong mask so metallic paint suffices.Also, meet their sibling, panther Barong mask, who has their original paint job.
Not true Barong masks as those are too sacred to sell, but likely made as souvenirs with much Barong inspiration. Sacred to me 💖
