    Description

    ANTIQUE USED AUTHENTIC HAND MADE 19TH CENTURY COLLECTION OF 11 BALINESE SHADOW PUPPETS THAT DATE FROM 1880! LARGE OVERSIZED PUPPETS THAT MEASURE APPROXIMATELY 35 INCHES HIGH X 21 INCHES WIDE EACH. THESE ARE NOT TOURIST PUPPETS BUT RATHER OLD USED PUPPETS THAT CAME FROM AN OLD PUPPETEER WHO HAND CUT THEM FROM LEATHER AND HAND PAINTED THEM IN “UBUD” VILLAGE ON BALI ISLAND IN INDONESIAN. HE HAD HIS OWN SHADOW PUPPET THEATER IN UBUD. MY GRANDFATHER BOUGHT OUT THE OLD PUPPETEER’S COMPLETE INVENTORY WHEN THE PUPPETEER BECAME TOO OLD TO PERFORM HIS PUPPET SHOW. THESE RARE AND UNUSUAL PIECES HAVE HAND CARVED ANIMAL HORN STRUTS THAT CONTROL THE PUPPETS ARMS, LEGS, AND ACT AS HANDLES TO HOLD THE PUPPETS DURING A SHADOW PUPPET PERFORMANCE. EACH INDIVIDUALLY INTRICATELY HAND PAINTED IN HUNDREDS OF COLORS. FINE, RICH, PATINA. I AM ASKING A FRACTION OF THEIR TRUE VALUE. THESE PIECES SHOWS WEAR AND ACTUAL SIGNS OF USE. THESE ARE UNUSUAL ONE OF A KIND ITEMS FROM MY GRANDFATHER'S OLD TRIBAL ART COLLECTION. HE WORKED IN SOUTHEAST ASIA, SOUTH AMERICA, AND AMERICA'S SOUTH WEST IN THE 30'S. HE TRAVELED TO BURMA, INDONESIA, THE PHILIPPINES, AND MEXICO WITH A NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE PHOTOGRAPHER. HE COLLECTED THESE PIECES DURING HIS TRAVELS.
