Teak shadow puppet, 'Yudistira'
By Anne
Beautiful
I got this for my husband who studies Indonesian history. When we lived in Indonesia we always wanted one, but at the time could not afford one.

One of the sticks did break, but that was probably due to the fact our 5 year old couldnt stop playing with it. It is magical.

Great Gifts!
I LOVE these little worry dolls! They are great as a decoration on a gift or just to give a friend who is going through a hard time. My granddaughters sleep with one under their pillows, to take their worries away.
