Rust & Rot ~ Purveyors of wonderful things. Hello and welcome to the sale of these beautiful puppets
Made in Indonesia these are Wayang Golek puppets and were found in an attic during a house clearance. The box they were found in had stamps on the front with Queen Victoria on. I would assume them to be from the 1930's or 40's. One of the puppets appears to be older than the other and is marked 'SUATAMA' on the body. Both work well and are in fact the same size, one app...ears shorter as its handle is shortened (easy to replace) and I have made a rough stand to display them to you (Very rough, not included). In good condition commensurate with its age and use, the fabric and paint has faded a little. Please have a good look at the photographs as they form part of the description and contact me if you have any further questions. The puppets measure (in cm) 50 tall. Each weighs approx 0.7kg You are more than welcome to collect or I can deliver locally if needed. I have many unique antique and vintage items, please take a look. I’m more than happy to combine postage and offer discounts for multiple purchases.
