An indoor museum exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, New York, United States, displays Southeast Asian dance artifacts within a glass-enclosed case. The background wall is uniform yellow-orange, transitioning to a light blue base. On the left, a full-body dance costume is presented on a mannequin. It features a prominent green-faced mask with a multi-tiered, pointed gold crown. The costume itself is intricately embroidered with silver and gold patterns on dark fabric, including ornate shoulder pieces and a long, predominantly red and gold skirt. The costume's left arm is extended outward and slightly upward. To the upper right, a smaller, light brown mask with a fierce expression and a pointed top is mounted on the wall. Below it, a second smaller mask, primarily white with dark and red accents, displays an open mouth with visible fangs and swirling patterns around the eyes, also wall-mounted. At the bottom right, a dark, metallic statue of a dancing figure in a dynamic pose, with arms extended and one pointing forward, stands on the blue base. Two small, circular, metallic objects are positioned on the blue base below the central costume. A rectangular white plaque with black text is centered on the yellow wall, identifying the exhibit as "SOUTHEAST ASIAN DANCE" and providing details about the displayed costume (Ravana from Thailand, 19th century), masks (Demon Prince Mangkonkanth and Hanuman from Cambodia, 20th century), and statue (Khon dancer from Burma, late 19th century). Overhead lighting illuminates the display. No individuals are present in the image.
