The beautiful pair of wood carved masks the workmanship of Indonesia which of manual work symbolizing calmness self-scrutiny affability. It\'s comes in wooden mask in classic style by decorated with hand carvings. A tribe who lived in Indonesia will wear the mask which different from mask of used in religious rituals and ordinances in Hindu/ Buddhist. The mask has perfect look with wonderful hand carvings which come in excellent quality wood. This mask generally is worn with a costume, often so complete that it entirely covers the body of the wearer. Fundamentally the costume completes the new identity represented by the mask, and usually tradition prescribes its appearance and construction to the same extent as the mask itself. Costumes, like masks, are made of a great variety of materials, all of which have a symbolic connection with the mask\'s total imagery. Ideally the costume should be seen with the mask while the wearer is in action.

The morphological elements of the mask are with few exceptions derived from natural forms. Masks with human features are classified as anthropomorphic and those with animal characteristics as theorimorphic. In some instances, the mask form is a replication of natural features or closely follows supernatural beings, ancestors, and fanciful or imagined figures and can also be portraits. The localization of a particular spirit in a specific mask must be considered a highly significant reason for its existence. The change in identity of the wearer for that of the mask is vital, for if the spirit represented does not reside in the image of the mask, the ritual petitions, supplications, and offerings made to it would be ineffectual and meaningless. The mask, therefore, most often functions as a means of contact with various spirit powers, thereby protecting against the unknown forces of the universe by prevailing upon their potential beneficence in all matters relative to life.
