A naked devil figure or ?Satanan? used in the Javanese and Balinese 'wayang kulit' or leather shadow puppet theatre tradition.

Water buffalo hide and pigment 42 x 16 cm, painted both sides, affixed to a spliced horn baton, some surface wear and loss of pigment, overall in good condition. Figure of a Pocong, used in the Javanese and Balinese 'wayang kulit' or leather shadow puppet theatre tradition. A pocong is a ghost in the form of a corpse wrapped in its burial shroud. The deceased are typically wrapped in a white cloth which is tied at several places including feet, torso and neck. Burial is often without a casket. Before closure of a grave, the ties must be loosed so that the spirit of the person is released. If not they are doomed to wander the world, haunting the living and places at will. Belief has it that they sometimes haunt bamboo or bannana tree groves in order to befriend the living. During early Covid lockdown in Java, neighbourhoods would block road access to enforce curfew with one or two people dressed as pocongan as a warning to trespassers. Purchased in Java in the early 1970s.…

Figure of Jatayu, a demi-god who takes the form of a vulture or an eagle, used in the Javanese and Balinese 'wayang kulit' or leather shadow puppet theatre tradition.

Water buffalo hide and pigment 29 x 44.5 cms affixed with cotton to a baton (41 cms). A folk puppet depicting Nyi Brayut and her husband Ki Brayut (the small lead figure in red jacket and pants), who have a great many children. Kyi Brayut is carrying on his shoulder a support which connnects the children to the basket like base on which the children are being carried. The term "brayut" comes from the word "brayat", meaning offspring. Of ancient origin, this shadow puppet was traditionally used for the ritual ceremony held at the 7th month of pregnancy to safeguard the mother and baby during its birth. The display of the puppet would symbolically "bring down" Nyi and Ki Brayut and so magically intervene to assist in a safe birth. This puppet was often used from the early 1970s onwards in government campaigns urging the use of birth control to limit family size. Purchased in Java in the early 1970s.…

Water buffalo hide 66 x 24 cms (body), pigment, jointed arms, painted both sides, intricately punctured, the jointed arms and body affixed to horn and wooden batons slight wear and rubbing with some loss of pigment to the top of the shoulder of one arm, but in very good, bright condition. This puppet represents the figure of Batara Yamadipati, the god of death. Son of Semar, he is responsible for collecting the souls of mortals when their time comes. In the Javanese Wayang he dwells with mortals and is invited to joke by the Punakawans. This example is brightly coloured, joyful almost, flesh-coloured rather than gilt and black--symbolically death hiding in plain sight. Purchased in Java in the early 1970s.

Water buffalo hide, gilt and pigment, chiselled and cut out, 30 x 40 cms (fully extended, without batons), painted both sides, jointed arms, one affixed to a horn baton, the other bamboo, the body affixed to a spliced horn baton, minor loss of pigment. Dewa Ruci is the representation of Bima in miniature form. It is used in the story of the young Bima, called Bratasena, who goes in search of the meaning of life/the water of life. At the end of his journeys he finds it in a miniature of himself representing his true self. The story of Dewa Ruci thus represents the search for perfection and union with the divine and is thus important in Javanese mysticism. Purchased in Java in the early 1970s.

Water buffalo hide, gilt and pigment, chiselled and cut out, 40 x 39 cms (fully extended), painted both sides, one arm jointed and affixed to a bamboo baton, the other arm stationary, holding a staff, another spliced bamboo baton holding the body, some fading and loss of pigment. This puppet represents the seer or sage Durwasa in the Javanese 'wayang kulit' or leather shadow puppet theatre tradition. Resi Durwasa (Durvasa in the Indian Mahabharata) was known as a bestower both of curses and boons. He invested Krishna with partial invulnerability. To Dewi Kunti he bestowed a mantra to invoke gods by whom she could beget sons. Unwisely trying this out, she became pregnant by the Sun God, Surya. Resi Druwasa enabled the birth of her son Karna via her ear and the infant was put into a basket and floated down a river, to be found and adopted by others. In modern Wayang, this story has reputedly been employed to address issues of gender equality. Purchased in Java in the early 1970s.

Water buffalo hide and pigment, elaborately gilt and cut out 58 x 25 cm, painted both sides, a spliced horn baton holds the body, some abrasions and fading to the painted surface, in good condition overall.

Bathara Guru (the Javanese name for the deity Shiva) symbolized the imperfection of man, represented in the bodily defects of the puppet: four arms, small feet, marks on the throat and often (though not here) depicted with fangs.

This puppet represents the King/Knight Raden Astadarma, in the Javanese 'wayang kulit' or leather shadow puppet theatre tradition. This character appears in the Wayang Madya stories. These stories were originally sponsored by the princely poet Mangkunegara IV (1811?1881) the fourth ruler of Mangkunegaran, a principality based in Surakarta, Java, ruling from 1853 to his death in 1881. In recent times these stories are intended to retell 19th century heroic poems reflecting on 20th Century events, linking Wayang Purwa with Wayang Gedog. Purchased in Java in the early 1970s.
