Wooden puppets
These beautiful puppet figures are the same sort that are used
in the Indonesian puppet theatre called the 'Wayang Golek'.
Performances last all night, and children are sometimes brought
along as a treat by their parents. Stalls selling food are set up
and the audience eats, drinks, talks and even falls asleep during
the show!
What kind of puppets? These are rod puppets worked from
below. These ones were probably not for actual use, as they stand
on a base.
