Hi I reckon it is from Indonesia. Bali. Near Ubud.
I have some Balinese ancestor portraits here. They are done from the same wood. http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/19156-balinese-ancestor-portraits

Hindu too!
Barong is the term for these I think in Indonesian.

There's Barong Ket (lion),Barong Landung (giant), Barong Celeng (boar), Barong Macan (tiger), Barong Naga (dragon - serpent).
