Rod puppet (wayang golek) of a tiger, or harimau with a feline head and a tiger-human torso and arms. The wooden head (part a) has small pointed ears, behind which are golden decorations reaching to the neck. The eyes have red pupils, and the mouth is open, showing small pointed teeth and a pink tongue. Stiff plastic whiskers stick out of the snout. The head, torso and arms are painted with tiger stripes. The torso (part b) is bare, and at the back is a thick curved tail connected at waist and right shoulder. A sarong, belted at the waist, hides a wooden stick (part c) that extends up through the torso and into the puppet’s head to control its movement. The puppet’s wrists are adorned with red and blue bracelets and the arms are moveable at the shoulder by wooden sticks attached to each hand. The fingers of both hands are short, with painted claws on each tip. The stand (part d) is a square piece of painted wood.

Panakawan (clown) puppet named Gareng. The head (part a) has a large lump on the back of the neck, below a fringe of black hair and a bald scalp. Painted between the blue eyes are expression lines, above a large hooked nose. The mouth is open and smiling, revealing a single white tooth. The torso (part b) is clothed in village style dress, with a short sleeved plaid shirt and a long checked sarong. The sarong hides a removable wooden stick (part c) that extends through the torso to control the movement of the head and connects the figure to its wooden base (part d). The arms are moveable at the shoulder and elbow by wooden sticks attached to each black gloved hand.

Rod puppet named Rama. The head (part a) has a white face with black painted eyes and brows and a red smiling mouth. Pompoms hang from above each ear.

A long sarong hides a wooden stick (part c) that extends up through the torso and into the puppet’s head to control its movement. The arms are moveable at shoulder and elbow by wooden sticks attached to each hand.
