Wayang Golek : Hanoman

Anoman, known as the white monkey, was known as the Helper God and he is being loved throughout India. His role in the story was helping Rama find Shinta. He was the one who finally found Shinta and showed her the ring, proving that he was sent by Rama. He was a good character in the story and now became known as a Helper God. He sacrificed his life along with Rama to find Shinta, and rescued her. He is recognized by his talons for hands which he uses for weapons. Nephew to Sugriwa and Subali.

The wayang has a strong tradition in the world of Java and Indonesia, representing the struggle between good and evil. This Wayang Golek puppet is on a base and stands a little over 28". He can be removed from the base and both the head and arms can be moved. It has very finely detailed carvings on the head and body, with vivid color and detailed paintings.The body is beautifully decorated in beads and Batik. Each Wayang Golek puppet is individually carved, painted and dressed by hand making each unique.
