These mask-like effigies, carved and beaten into flat sheets of silver, are stylized portraits of gods and goddesses wearing elaborate crowns, headcloths, earrings and necklaces. Such images are used for a variety of purposes. In some cases, they are attached to Rambut Sedana, statuettes of gods most often made of old Chinese kepeng coins.
