Dewi Dhurga A very long time a go in suargan dewa siwa wanting to meditate, asked Dewi Uma to guard their newborn son. When the baby fell and was bleeding, Uma had an unexplainable strong urge to lick the baby's blood and eat him, until she couldn't resist the temptation any longer and so ate the child. Finding out Siwa was very upset and turned Uma into a raksasa and sent her to guard the cemeteries. Dewi Dhurga would return to her original beautiful form of Dewi Uma only when her terrible tendencies would dispel. An evil goddess sent to earth famous for eating babies. This special piece can not be found in stores. Through our connections with the artists we have obtained this unique piece. 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 little over 29". 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 decorated in Batik, with open breasts. Each puppet is individually made by hand making each unique. They are made by the artists who make the puppets for Asep Sunarya (puppet master) who performs worldwide. These are Indonesia's finest Wayang Golek and can be enjoyed by children and adults alike.
