These
rod puppets, old Wayang golek rod puppets, are three dimensional
wood and cloth rod puppets. These rod puppets have been
used in many traditional rod puppet performances in Java.
The rod puppet consists of a carved and painted head that
fits into a trunk with jointed arms manipulated by the
dalang, puppet master. The wayang golek rod puppet has
elaborate costumes and are often adorned with jewelry.
The familiar stories of the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and
local village legends are all told through the wayang
golek puppet performances. We have an extensive collection
of rod puppets, specifically the wayang golek rod puppet.
