<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 308963, member: 2844&quot;]Nowhere in Indonesia. Javanese/Madurese wayang puppets are more delicate and elegant, with intricate designs. Every little cut-out shape has special symbolic meaning, of inportance for the play.</p><p>Balinese wayang are based on the Javanese, but have a general rectangular shape, also with intricate designs. Balinese art in general is a more robust version of that very stylized and refined Javanese art.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those wide sleeves and trouser legs are seen a lot on Chinese shadow puppets. My guess is he is Chinese and depicts one of the Chinese minorities. No spiritual meaning, like the Indonesian wayang, just a lovely puppet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
