Timor had a distinctive tradition of dance masks, whose origins and significance remain uncertain. Realistic masks were worn  by men to represent ancestors during dances and ceremonies, including victories in war. They were attached to a  headdress, wig or hood to hide the wearer’s identity. The whole lot was heavy. They are smooth and display cool power. They would have been worn again and again.

19th – early 20th century.
