Traditional Indonesian Hand Crafted Puppet

This taditional stick puppet wooden wayang representing the character Suyudana is exquisite and a culturally significant artifact that embodies the rich storytelling tradition of Indonesian shadow puppetry. With their meticulous craftsmanship, symbolic significance, and cultural heritage, these puppets continue to captivate audiences and inspire appreciation for Indonesia's diverse cultural and artistic heritage. The puppet's facial features are delicately carved and painted to convey the character's emotions, personality, and role within the story. Suyudana's puppet has expressive eyes, a prominent nose, and a determined expression that reflects his heroic qualities and noble aspirations.
This puppet was purchased in 1993 from Bandung Puppet Co. and they witnessed the artists building and painting the puppets, as seen in the photo.
