Sad Greek Theater Mask | bali

Decorative “sad” mask carved and hand-painted by artisans from Bali, Indonesia.
Inspired by the tragedy persona of Greek theater, this wooden decorative art unites the dramaturgical culture of Ancient Greece with the Balinese style of painting, in which nature is always contemplated.

Tragedy - the dramaturgical genre of Greek theater used as inspiration - originated in Athens, in the 6th century BC, a period in which theatrical plays were ritualistic celebrations (tragoedia) to worship Dionysus, god of fertility and wine. In the rituals, masks made of natural elements, such as wood, were used to enhance the emotions they wanted to convey.

This decorative art inspires fertility, the flowering of aspects in the soul under others that need to be transformed.
