Description

Wayang is the Indonesia word for puppet and in Indonesia is used to describe theater both with and without puppets but is most often used as shorthand for wayang kulit (Javanese shadow puppet theater). The various art forms associated with it has been around for at least 1,000 years. 

This is probably a Wayang klitik puppet, a form of two-dimensional puppet that is made of thin wood and painted with detailed lines and dots of red and gold paint. The puppet's arms rotate and have long rods at the end to allow the dalang (puppet master) to control it. The name of the Wayang klitik is onomotopaeic, from the sound klitik-klitik that the figure makes when worked by the dalang.
