[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4323038, member: 2844"]She is a European lady, of sorts.;) She creeps me out too, but she is well made. The pretty one with the fur hat looks Russian, as [USER=965]@judy[/USER] said. The one with the crown is a Burmese marionette puppet. The ones in red are indeed Maasai, as [USER=1476]@Debora[/USER] suggested. The frog puppet is Indonesian, as [USER=50]@say_it_slowly[/USER] said. It is a Wayang Golek puppet. Wayang is religiously themed theatre, there are different versions, often related to different regions. Wayang Golek is originally Sundanese from West Java, but these puppets are now made as souvenirs in other parts of Java too. I don't know if a frog character is traditional in Sundanese Wayang Golek theatre, it is slightly different from classic Wayang. We have a Wayang Golek puppet collector on the forum, but I can't remember his name. All of them are good quality dolls and puppets.[/QUOTE]
