Here is our heroine depicted in shadows at a Wayang Kulit play. The puppets are crafted from buffalo hide and chiselled out to create something that appears as shadow lace. They are mounted on bamboo and hand painted with bright colours. Wayang travelled to Java with Hinduism; the plays are based on romantic tales adapted from classic Indian epics.
