An extraordinary depiction of majestic elegance and a courageous heart, this mask of Sugriwa, King of the Monkeys, is imbued with the artistic grace of legends. Nyoman Indrawati Subrata of the Subrata Family hand-carves this ally of Rama from suar wood with sumptuous detail, as Sugriwa's fearsome expression is softened by an ornate headdress and crown. Subrata's excellence as a wood carver are evident in the refined perfection of her work, rendering this mask a true treasure.

Sugriwa is one of the Ramayana's many heroes. He commanded a simian army to help Rama in rescuing his beloved Sita from the evil king Rahwana.

Nyoman Indrawati Subrata of the Subrata Family delicately carves the heroic royal couple of the Hindu epic, the Ramayana. The epic poem tells the story of Rama, the seventh incarnation of the god Vishnu, who eventually wins Sita in marriage. Displaced as rightful heir to his father's throne, Rama goes into exile with Sita and his brother Lakshmana. Sita is later abducted by the demon-king Ravana. Rama, with the aid of the monkey general Hanoman, searches for Sita and slays Rawana, rescuing her. Rama then regains his throne. Rumors and gossip accuse Sita of adultery during her captivity. Although innocent, she bears Rama's twin sons in exile, sheltered by the hermit Valmiki, the author of the poem. Many years pass, but eventually, Rama and Sita reunite in love. This elegant sculpture by Nyoman Indrawati Subrata of the Subrata Family was created in suar wood which is responsible for the richness of color that can be seen in this masterpiece.
