A beautiful Wayang Golek puppet, character: Bima.
Bima is the second of the five Pandawa brothers and son of Prabu Pandu and Dewi Kunti, fathered by Batara Bayu. He is immensely strong and the mightiest of the knights. His characteristic weapons are the Gada Rujakpolo and his razor-sharp thumbnails (Pancanaka). Bima has a rough appearance but an honest heart. He is brave, just and forthright in his speech, and is never submissive, not even to the gods.
Material: wood, fabric, beads.
This puppet comes from Bogor (Java, Indonesia) and was made by master carver Pak Aji in the late twentieth century.
