"Wayang golek are wooden doll puppets that are operated from below by rods connected to the hands and a central control rod that runs through the body to the head. The head is removable and swivels via the control rod. The simple construction of the puppets belies their versatility, expressiveness and aptitude for imitating human dance & action."
