Fabulous details on these Wayang Golek puppets. Wonderful pieces of functional art, though I think too nice to risk getting marred being used. Excellent gallery and thank you for showing your wonderful collection!

i recently saw these puppets at someone's home and they just had a bald head and were covered with cloth, had movable arms and feet and were able to sit on a table because they had kind of a box inside the cloth dress. where can i pick those up and at what website??
