A:<\/strong>\u00a0 I picked the green mask because that color is rare for characters from the classical dance dramas of Java and Bali. With a little research you might be able to discover his name. Also, it has been quickly carved and painted, but has not been artificially aged, which would happen to an inexpensive tourist mask today. I would suggest straightening the mustache, all three of your masks will display nicely together.\u00a0 C+\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
