Wayang Golek | Indonesian Rod Puppet 13D ModelNoAI
Wayang golek is one of the traditional Sundanese puppet arts originating from West Java, Indonesia. Unlike other forms of wayang (puppetry) found on Java Island that use leather, wayang golek is crafted from wood. Let me delve into more details: Etymology: The term wayang golek combines two Javanese words: “wayang” (meaning “shadow” or “imagination”) and “golek” (which translates to “seek” in Indonesian). In modern Javanese and Indonesian vocabulary, “wayang” can refer to both the puppet itself and the entire puppet theater performance1. History: The wayang golek tradition began in the 17th century. Initially, it emerged on the north coast of Java, particularly in Cirebon. Legend has it that Sunan Suci used the Wayang Cepak (a flat-headed puppet) to spread Islam in the community.
The intricate craftsmanship involved in creating wayang golek puppets is a testament to the skill and dedication of the artisans who have kept this art form alive for centuries.
