Wayang Golek : Shinta puppet

SHINTA, In the RAMAYANA episode, Shinta was RAMA's wife. She was kidnapped and locked up by RAHWANA. She was released by her husband and helped by HANOMAN, the white monkey, and LESMANA her brother in law. To prove that she was still virgin, she was burned by her husband, but the fire didn't harm her, hence proving her innocence. A symbol of faithfulness and honour.  The Wayang has a strong tradition in the world of Java and Indonesia, representing the struggle between good and evil. This Wayang Golek puppet is on a base and stands a between  23" to 28". She can be removed from the base and both the head and arms can be moved. It has very finely detailed carvings on the head, with vivid color and detailed paintings. The body is beautifully decorated in beads and Batik. Each Wayang Golek puppet is individually carved and painted by hand making each unique. They are made for the artists who make the puppets for Asep Sunarya (puppet master) who performs worldwide. These are Indonesia's finest Wayang Golek puppets.
