$135.00

Village theater was one of the most powerful forms of expression in Javanese culture. Wayang, the traditional puppet play, was typically performed in the village square or courtyard, serving as both entertainment and a vital means of storytelling and cultural transmission.

These puppets, shaped by generations of performances across the villages and islands of East Java and Bali, were acquired in 1988.
