Sculptural Wooden Mask - Face and Royal Cobra (Naga) - Indonesian/Balinese Tribal Art - Wall Decoration. DESCRIPTION: Fascinating wall mask or sculpture in exotic wood, depicting a serene face with Asian features, crowned with an impressive Royal Cobra (or Naga) rearing up. The sculpting work is detailed, particularly on the scales of the serpent that wrap around the headdress and descend along the face. The cobra, with its mouth open, seems to protect the central figure. The elongated ears with earrings suggest a deity or mythological character, perhaps Shiva (often associated with cobras) or a protective figure from Indonesian folklore. The wood has a beautiful brown patina, with darker areas that enhance the relief of the scales. A hook on the back allows for easy hanging on the wall. This is a striking decorative piece, imbued with mystery and exoticism, perfect for an ethnic atmosphere or a cabinet of curiosities. Condition: Good vintage condition. The wood is sound. Some small signs of wear or natural cracks in the wood may be present (see photos), which is common for this type of handcrafted object and adds to its charm. Features: Type: Wall mask / Decorative sculpture. Probable origin: Indonesia (Bali / Java) Subject: Face with Royal Cobra / Naga. Material: Carved exotic wood. Height: 32 cm. Width: 15 cm. Depth: 10 cm. Weight: 432 g. Shipping: The item will be carefully packaged and protected for dispatch. Shipping with tracking number.
