Balinese Shadow Puppet


In response to a request, here is the aforementioned shadow puppet. It is a wayang kulit puppet. Traditionally they were made of water buffalo skin. I bought it a long time ago as a gift for my ex. I took it when I moved out. When I have some extra money, which hasn't been for quite a while, I collect folk art puppets.

That is quite impressive. There is nothing else in the pic to reference it's scale. How large is it?
It is a beautiful piece. Thanks for posting it!
