Description
**Originally Listed At $175**
Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Java, ca. mid 20th c. CE. A pair of Javanese Wayang Golek rod-operated puppets, the characters distinguished by their headdresses, one resembling a golden tiara to match the regal figure's bejeweled earrings, the other probably representing Sita, wife of Rama (hero and heroine of the Ramayana), her sculpted headdress depicting a head of a garuda (mythical bird) looking backward. The refined nature of both figures may be seen in their elegant facial features, white complexions, and luxurious garments. Size: Sita w/ clothing 26" H (66 cm)
Provenance: Ex-Private Boulder, CO collection acquired at Indochine Gallery
