A Traditional Mask
This person found a miniature mask in New Zealand and wanted to inquire about its origins. On the one hand, it looks like a purely ornamental object; on the other hand, the wide open mouth suggests it might have some sort of purpose. Not sure what to make of this, they’ve decided to consult with the experts on Reddit.
Someone on the thread revealed this was a miniature version of a Balinese ‘yawning’ dance mask, which plays an important role in Balinese culture and traditional ceremonies. While this mask holds great importance in the Balinese culture, it doesn’t actually have any intended purpose.
