Barong is the king of good spirits and is also revered as a guardian spirit. He is the antagonist of Rangda, who stands for evil and destruction.
Barong masks are extremely common and undoubtedly intended for the tourist market. The example here probably dates from the 1980s to 1990s and is painted black.
