Barong Ket mask, by Ida Bagus Anom Suryawan, Bali, Indonesia, 2011; IFAF Collection, Museum of International Folk Art (FA.2011.44.1). The Barong is a protective spirit whose power is concentrated in his beard. Barong Ket, Lord of the Jungle, holds the highest rank. While his bulging eyes, fangs, and red face indicate that he is a demon, he is a symbol of good with the power to quell dark forces and bring balance to the world. Photograph by Kitty Leaken.
