About Indonesian Shadow Puppets:
Wayang kulit, or shadow puppets, are without a doubt the best known of the Indonesian wayang. Kulit means skin, and refers to the leather construction of the puppets that are carefully chiseled with very fine tools and supported with control rods. The stories are usually drawn from the Hindu epics the Ramayana, the Mahabharata or from the Serat Menak. The vintage puppets were used by a dalang or puppeteer in performances during the late 19th and mid-20th century.
A Little history of the Wayang -- Puppets
Puppets have been used for centuries in Indonesia to tell the stories of the ancient epics, the Ramayana and the Wayng Kulit Mahabharata, as well as ancient myths. Modern stories also utilize this ancient art form for contemporary audiences.
Puppets fall into two major classifications - wayang kulit - the leather or shadow puppet of Central Java, and wayang golek Some expats enjoy collecting the same character by various artisans, or all the characters in a scene or story, or just characters that strike their fancy. Good guys, bad guys, gods, demons, nobles, giants, clowns, princes and princesses and monkeys ... all can be found in traditional puppet forms.
