The menacing fangs of rahwana command attention in this mask by nyoman subrata. According to the ramayana epic, rahwana is the ogre-king of alengka, mythically situated on the island of sri lanka. He kidnaps sita, the wife of the heroic rama, only to eventually be killed by rama and the white monkey army, commanded by hanuman, the revered white monkey general. Using suar wood as his medium, subrata passionately conveys bali's rich hindu heritage.
