Topeng Cirebon



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.

    As i know, it's not easy to dance it. We have to bite the mask while we dance. Hmmm...
