Details

Traditionally depicted with crooked arms and sore feet, Gareng is one of the comic figures of Indonesian wayang shadow puppetry. Appearing in the retelling of the Hindu epic Ramayana, his character is honest and witty, creating puns to make the audience laugh. He stands in shadow puppet position on Putu Oka Mahendra's platter, crafted from ceramic in a natural white color.

“Sacred Dome of Light”

It was delivered packaged secure and tried to take a picture but unsuccessful but it was perfect everything. The most touching part was the next day with I lit it with a darker room I noticed the lovely Star/Moon/Sun reflected on the wall behind it. It was fabulous and thank you Putu and your mother for the support.

For self use but would give this as a gift at a later time

Purchased Item Dome of Light, Green Sky Theme Ceramic Candleholder for a Tealight Candle
