Characteristic of the Malangan Mas

Malangan masks are a Malang cultural art whose history is closely related to the golden era of King Gajayana, the Kanjuruhan Kingdom. At first glance, Mask Dance is similar to Wayang Wong. The difference is that the actors wear masks and the story that is often told is the Panji story, about the love story between Panji Asmarabangun and Galuh Candrakirana. . The characteristic of the Malangan Mask is the carving of the character of a person's face on wood which looks more real. And the colors are more diverse than masks from other regions. The colors of the masks also reflect the nature/character of the characters, namely red, white, yellow, green and black. The meaning of these colors, respectively, symbolizes courage, purity, joy, peace and wisdom. . #Pindle #PindleIndonesia #Culture
