Details

This handcrafted leather shadow puppet is designed by Mujiyono of Java. The leather is cut in a traditional spearhead shape and intricately perforated to create a detailed scene in shadows when held to the light. The scene is one of a temple flanked by guarding lions and dragons, with a tiger and bull nearby, and a towering tree in the peak filled with cavorting monkeys. Painted in bright colors of red, green, and gold, the shadow puppet is as beautiful as the shadows it creates. Done in the traditional style of Gunungan Kayon, this type of shadow puppet was used in performances to mark the beginning and end of the show and transitions between scenes.

For shipping, the display stand is detached, and can easily be assembled upon arrival.
