Lamsijan : One of the wayang golek clown heros and favorites. This piece has small pox and Lapis Lazuli eyes.

The wayang has a strong tradition in the world of Java and Indonesia, representing the struggle between good and evil. This rare Wayang Golek puppet is on a base and stands a little over 28". He 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 sarong and jacket. Each Wayang Golek puppet is individually carved, painted and dressed 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. A cute piece of art.
