a photograph of a striking, hand-carved traditional Balinese wooden mask used in temple ceremonies and theatrical performances, The mask features a dramatic dragon-like face with a wide open black snout, displaying sharp white fangs and a vivid red mouth. Its bulging red-ringed eye stares intensely, while gold-detailed wings unfurl from both sides, decorated with swirling floral motifs on a red background. A gilded crown with teardrop gems sits above the head, completing its regal and terrifying look. Balinese mask, tribal style.
