Indonesian Wayang Golek Wooden Stick Rod Puppet Doll Carved Handcrafted

Description

This is a Wayang Golek puppet.  Wayang means puppet; Golek means rod (as the puppets are operated by wooden rods).  Therefore, Wayang Golek means Rod Puppets.
Traditional Wayang Golek plays  revolve around Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses who fight against evil, mystical, beings to (usually) end happily.
The puppet is carved out of light, softwood. The head of the puppet is the most important part, and that is the most intricately carved section.
