    14" Rare Antique " Wayang Golek" puppet. Secured in a framed glass display case. In MINT condition.

    A 14" early vintage Wayang Golek puppet in pristine condition, especially when displayed in an enclosed framed display, is a highly collectible item. Wayang Golek is a traditional form of puppet theater from West Java, Indonesia, known for its intricately carved and vividly painted wooden puppets. The puppets are used to perform stories from the Hindu epics, local legends, and Islamic literature, making them not only artistic masterpieces but also cultural and historical artifacts.

    In pristine condition, such a puppet would retain its original paint, carvings, and costume details without signs of wear or damage. The costume, often made of richly colored fabrics and sequins, would be intact and vibrant. The puppet's wooden body and head, carved from light wood, would show the skilled craftsmanship of the puppeteer or artisan, with detailed facial expressions and traditional attire.

    Being displayed in an enclosed framed display adds value by protecting the puppet from dust, light, and environmental damage, preserving its condition and enhancing its visual presentation. Such a display would allow the puppet to be admired from all angles while ensuring its preservation.

    Collectors and enthusiasts of traditional arts, puppetry, or Indonesian culture would find significant value in such an item, both for its aesthetic beauty and its cultural significance.

    Amazing Collectors Item!
