Discover Traditional Indonesian Vintage Wayang Golek Puppets

Looking for vintage wayang golek puppets in Bali? At Wayan’s Shop Ubud, we invite you to discover a collection of traditional Indonesian wooden puppets with distinctive characters, colorful costumes, and fascinating histories.

Wayang golek is a traditional Indonesian art form featuring three-dimensional wooden puppets, often associated with the storytelling traditions of Java. Each puppet has its own character, expression, and distinctive appearance.

Our collection includes vintage wayang golek puppets, some of which are approximately 30 to 50 years old. These pieces come from different sources and have their own stories to tell.

A Collection with a History

Some of our vintage wayang golek puppets were acquired from the warehouse of a producer whose family had continued the craft for three generations. The producer is no longer in production, and we were fortunate to obtain these puppets from the remaining warehouse collection.

Other pieces come from Java, where they were previously used by dalang, or traditional puppet masters. These puppets were carefully kept for around 30 years before we brought them to our shop in Bali.

Each group has its own history. Some reflect the work of a traditional puppet-making workshop, while others carry a connection to the performances and storytellers who once brought them to life. For collectors and admirers of Indonesian culture, these vintage puppets offer an opportunity to discover traditional wooden art with a history beyond its appearance.
