Rod Puppet2872/23 a-c

Rod puppet (wayang golek) of the character of Bima, Pandhawa Prince. The head (part a) has a long, curling rear portion, known as a gelund supit urang, with decorative ear ornaments (called sumping).

A sarong is belted with a decorative golden sash and beaded velvet hangings. The sarong hides a removable wooden stick (part c) that extends through the torso to control the movement of the head. Bracelets adorn the arms, and each hand has, rather than a middle finger, a kuku ponconoco- a magical red claw used as a weapon. The arms are moveable at the shoulder and elbow by wooden sticks attached to each hand.
