Topeng mask, from Indonesia, c.XX century. From the collection of Demonology. It is believed that the use of masks is related to the cult of the ancestors, which considered dancers the interpreters of the gods. Topeng performances open with a series of non-speaking masked characters which may not be related to the story to be performed.
