About the Item

This flat shadow puppet was crafted on the island of Java by a puppet artist using buffalo hide and mounted on bamboo sticks. It features movable arms, controlled by outer bamboo rods (however this puppet lost one of its bamboo rods over the years due to age) It was used in Wayang puppet shows, a type of shadow puppet show originating from the island of Java, Indonesia. These puppets were used to tell dramatic mythological stories. They are crafted using intricate detail and give off wonderfully dramatic photos when held under light.
