Summary
editDescriptionGold Kala mask from Majapahit kingdom of Java.png |
English: A silver-alloyed gold (more than 16 karat, but less than 18 karat) mask from from East Java, Indonesia. Most likely made in the 14th century. The eyes are covered and the size is small for a death mask (weights 51 grams, 160 mm high and 140 mm wide), it was probably used as wall hanging for protecting a house or a temple as Kala heads are usualy depicted above the entrances and internal doors of Javanese temples (Hindu and Buddhist alike, as it is appears in most entrances in Borobudur as well).
Kala the god of death and the underworld in the Javanese (and now Balinese) mythology, the time and destruction, who devours unlucky people. |
