Wayang

ꦮꦪꦁ

An illustrated website about Indonesian puppets

Every puppet here can be turned, brought closer, and have its arms moved with the gapit rods, as in the hands of a dalang behind the kelir. Starting with puppets in the Surakarta gagrag, every puppet in this online collection is based on photos of a real puppet, reworked with AI (artificial intelligence), and the collection grows slowly together with the collectors and sanggar who lend their puppets.

This site is continually updated and developed. If you find a mistake, we greatly appreciate your suggestions, criticism and contributions to help improve it. Please send them through the About page.
