Masks
of the World

Every culture built a face for what lay beyond the human. These are not costumes. They are the archaeology of the sacred — collected, studied, and cast in resin.

Cultural Origins

Fourteen traditions

Bali, Indonesia
Rangda
Queen of Leyaks. Demon queen of the underworld, opponent of Barong in the eternal battle of chaos and order.
West Africa
Dan Mask
Mediator between the supernatural and human worlds. Used in initiations, healing ceremonies, and to welcome spirits of the forest.
Japan
Hannya
Noh theatre mask of a jealous female demon. The expression shifts between agony and rage depending on the angle of light.
Mexico
Tlaloc
Rain god of the Aztec pantheon. His distinctive goggle eyes and fanged mouth appear across Mesoamerican cultures spanning 1,500 years.
Papua New Guinea
Sepik River
Ancestor spirits of the Iatmul people. The elongated form and shell eyes distinguish the Sepik tradition from all other Melanesian mask cultures.
Venice, Italy
Bauta
The anonymous face of the Venetian Carnival. The squared chin and upturned beak allowed the wearer to eat and drink without removing the mask — and to remain completely anonymous.
