Magnificent!
Barong is now busy protecting the house, frightening evil spirits but grinning heartily at the rest of us. He has added a colorful and life-enhancing presence that is a delight to encounter daily. After his arrival I particularly enjoyed watching Barong dance rituals on YouTube and highly recommend them to anyone contemplating ordering the mask since you’ll understand his significance and character better. Incidentally, I had no trouble hanging him on the wall with a tiny bit of ingenuity.
Incredible Artwork
Not sure how I stumbled upon this mask in the first place but from the moment I saw it, something about it haunted me. It's beautiful. I could NOT stop thinking about it and finally caved, and I'm so glad I did. The colors, the beadwork, and the craftsmanship are all incredible. This is my favorite piece of art we own, by far. I can't wait to collect more of Awudu Saaed's work.
