Traditional Wayang Golek Rod Puppet on Wooden Display Stand
A traditional Wayang Golek rod puppet, mounted on a wooden display stand for enhanced presentation. Originating from West Java, this puppet is a standout example of Sundanese craftsmanship, traditionally used in theatrical performances that depict narratives from Hindu epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata. The puppet features a painted face with expressive, almond-shaped eyes, detailed facial markings, and a visage that tells stories of ancient lore. It is adorned in a regal costume of red and gold, festooned with sequins, beads, and metallic elements, perfectly suited to capture the drama of puppet theatre. The addition of its ornate hat and traditional earrings adds to its majestic and theatrical presence.
