I am selling two Indonesian Wayang Golek puppet dolls. The dolls are beautiful and in excellent condition. Both dolls include the stands.These dolls come from a smoke-free and pet-free home. No damage or defects except from the unique features that come from being hand made.Both dolls are being sold together. They are 14 - 17 inches tall (35 - 43 cm)Cultural Context and History: Indonesia has a vast and rich history of puppetry. In fact, there are many different styles of puppetry from Indonesia. The two most popular are Wayang Kulit (shadow puppets) and Wayang Golek (rod puppets) Wayang means puppet Kulit means leather (as all shadow puppets are made out of animal hide) Golek means rod (as the puppets are operated by wooden rods) Therefore, Wayang Golek means Rod Puppets Traditional Wayang Golek plays can be compared to European and North America: most performances revolve around Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses who fight against evil, mystical, beings to (usually) end happily.Buy with confidence and email me with any questions.
