I believe that this is Barong Sae, a lion-like creature… the king of the spirits, leader of the hosts of good and enemy of Rangda.  On the other hand, it could be Sang Jopor Manik.  Not sure.

 

What I am perfectly sure of is that this is a heavy, superbly crafted wooden mask in excellent condition.   Stand not included.

 

For the serious collector.
