This is a pair of Topeng Cirebon (Cirebonese Masks).
Topeng Cirebon is the masks and the name of a traditional dance (called Tari Topeng Cirebon) from the West Javanese area of Cirebon of which these masks are the essential attire.
At this time, I do not yet have the photos and videos of the dance. I'll post them when I do.

i have enjoyed the photos and the tapirs were good. I have seen a real life tapir in the wild once in Iquitos, peru. I also loved your dragon shot for Lunar New Year. I look forward to seeing more of your photos.
Beautiful masks. Masks are very interesting piece of culture. Why is the other one with chinky eyes?
The details on these masks are wonderful! Hope things are going good for you Eki, Have a great evening!
The workmanship on the masks is great. What are they made of? I can go look it up too..they are beautiful though..
As i know, it's not easy to dance it. We have to bite the mask while we dance. Hmmm...
Nice mask ^^
