Three-dimensional wooden puppet from West Java
This cultural art form began in the 1600s
Wikipedia: "The term wayang golek is the Javanese word, it consists of two words wayang and golek. Wayang for "shadow" or "imagination" and Golek for "seek." In modern daily Javanese and Indonesian vocabulary, wayang can refer to the puppet itself or the whole puppet theatre performance."
