These 1970’s puppets feature intricate hand-painted details, gilded gold accents, and operable jointed arms. In traditional Wayang Kulit sets, the main central support post and the thin arm control rods are typically made from water buffalo horn (tanduk kerbau).
Craftsmen heat, shape, taper, and carve the horn to create the distinct curved handles and long, slender control rods. They make an incredible display for art collectors, world culture enthusiasts, or unique home decor styling..
In 2003, UNESCO officially declared Wayang Kulit a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, and it was inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2008.
(Please note that 2 of the puppets only have one arm controi, which is reflected in the price)
