Water buffalo hide, gilt and pigment, chiselled and cut out, 50 x 41 cms (fully extended), painted both sides, one arm jointed and affixed to a bamboo baton, (the other arm stationary) another spliced bamboo baton holding the body, some minor loss of pigment. This puppet represents the priestly hermit Resi Gotama (or Gotama Rish…i) in the Javanese 'wayang kulit' or leather shadow puppet theatre tradition. In this tradition, Resi Gotama is married to a beautiful angel, Dewi Indradi, and despite his royal heritage spurns kingship for life as a hermit. A particularly attractive example. Purchased in Java in the early 1970s. See: Joko Susilo, Eisler Shadow-Puppet Collection Catalogue, Bates College, Lewiston, Maine.
