With imagination and skill, Komang Sulaksana of Bali brings to us this detailed and fierce mask representing Barong Bangkal, or the "Great Boar," a guardian god of Bali. He is celebrated on the holidays known as Galungan and Kuningan; a lot of pork is consumed while the Barong is paraded around for protection. The grey finish gives the mask an antique feeling, and the carvings etched into the face bring this god to life. Perhaps it will guard your home, too.

Story Behind the art:
Tegalalang is my parents' village, the place where I learned to make various kinds of handicrafts such as photo albums, photo frames, notebooks and much more. Creating new designs is so much fun for me. Arranging different kinds of materials together is not a hard thing to do but, of course, it requires patience and skill. The materials I use are mostly natural fibers like banana bark, hibiscus leaves, lamtoro and recycled paper.

I was unable to continue my studies to the level I wanted. This wasn't a good experience but it never crossed my mind to regret what has happened. I never forget to give thanks each day for the life and family I have. They are so great and we work together side by side to create a better future for our children.
