Shadow puppetry is famous in
Indonesia. Wayang, in modern
Indonesian language means
“show” or “perform”. Kulit
means “skin”, a reference to
the leather material that the
figures are carved out of.
Others say that wayang is also
attributed to the Indonesian
word bayang which means
“shadow”.
Indonesia is known for its stone,
bronze, and iron-age arts. The
sculptures can be found in numerous
archaeological sites in Sumatra, Java to
Sulawesi. The native Indonesian tribes
usually create sculptures that depict
ancestors, deities, and animals. This is
evident in the pre-Hindu-Buddhist and
pre-Islamic sculptures from the tribes.
The most amazing sculptures
are the Asmat wooden
sculpture of Papua, the
Dayak wooden mask and
sculpture, the ancestral
wooden statue of Toraja, and
also the totem-like sculpture
of Batak and Niastribes.
