content: Oversize wayang golek puppet with carved wooden head. Face painted rose color, blue eyes, upturned nose, and wide red mouth with row of eight white teeth. Red conical headdress with suggestion of a bird with two eyes over ears with indentations. Large rose-colored body covered with black vest and long blue and beige batik skirt. Jointed wooden arms with rods attached to hands. Unlike other puppets, this one seems to have been used: paint peeling, clothes dirty and torn.
