Just a Bali of a Time
This is similar to the face I make before my morning coffee. Kidding, of course, but this object does seem to be looking for some sort of attention. After stumbling across this mask in New Zealand, this person couldn’t determine what exactly it was used for, and they turned to social media. What would you have guessed?
While this mask is too small to wear, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t serve a purpose. Balinese culture teaches that gods exist in all things, and thus some of their masks are made as an invitation for spirits to use them as a resting place. Learning more about spiritual energy and the history of Balinese mask-making will help you learn how to identify the purpose behind traditional masks.
