The striking figure of Yudistira from the Hindu epic Mahabharata is captured as an exquisite decorative shadow puppet. Javanese artisan Gunadi crafts his masterpiece from wadang and albesia wood, then hand-paints the finer details. Yudistira is the victorious hero of the Kurukshetra War, and his name is indeed associated with being steady in war.

I got this for my husband who studies Indonesian history. When we lived in Indonesia we always wanted one, but at the time could not afford one. It is so wonderful that now such products with amazing craftsmanship are available to those abroad. One of the sticks did break, but that was probably due to the fact our 5 year old couldnt stop playing with it. It is magical.

These are bigger than expected. Absolutely beautiful. Not very heavy so branches of tree are not weighted down. The design work is stellar. I highly recommend this artist, he is very talented. You will not be disappointed with his work.
