In different cultures, it may have its own specific name like mokutto in Southern India. See the google images link for pictures of forehead ornament.

| Reference: Topeng masks Reference information: They all wear masks. Characters of noble background wear masks that cover the whole face and they do not talk at all. They express their characters and story only through the dance and movement. All the storytelling is done by characters of servants or jesters that wear half-masks that do not cover the mouth so they could talk. They are each telling their view of the story and lead the audience through it. Beside the main, strictly defined story, dancers include jokes and current gossips for the laughter. Mythological tales are performed side by side with common stories. Masks are the one that define a character but they are also defined by a character. Characters of noble backgrounds wear beautiful white or golden masks while a half mask of jesters is more grotesque. - http://www.historyofmasks.net/mask-history/history-of-dance-... ------------- Cut and Make Indonesian Masks - http://goo.gl/7FLpmh --------- |
