RADEN GATOT KACA or GATOT KACA, He is also called prince PURABAYA, Bima and Arimbi's son. When he was born, he was named the powerful 'JABANG TUTUKA'. No weapon could cut his umbilical cord. When  DIPATI KARNA's weapon went into Jabang Tutuka's stomach, it increased his supernatural power. In the BRATAYUDA WAR his weakness was only known by Adipati Karna. He is a symbol frontline defender and is always ready in the sky. The wayang has a strong tradition in the world of Java and Indonesia, representing the struggle between good and evil. This puppet is on a base and stands a little over 31". He can be removed from the base and both the head and arms can be moved.
