Indonesia's wayang kulit, or shadow puppet show, is a cultural must-see. The flat puppets crafted from a buffalo hide and mounted on bamboo stick. Star in shows based on tales such as Hindu epic, the Ramayana. Puppet figures vary from region to region, depending on the style of the show. The wayang golek, originating from Java's north coast and using rod puppets, have a three dimensional lifelike nature and fine craftmanship, that make them perfect to display.
