| Indonesian shadow puppetry is an ancient and refined art form. In Indonesia it is known as Wayang Kulit. Wayang means "ghost" (or "shadow"), and Kulit means "skin". The puppets are traditionally hand carved from buffalo vellum (dried skin) and the plays are performed behind a curtain, called a gedebong. Thus the name Ghost, or Shadow Skin Puppetry. |
