Kyi Brayut is carrying on his shoulder a support which connnects the children to the basket like base on which the children are being carried.

Of ancient origin this shadow puppet was traditionally used for the ritual ceremony held at the 7th month of pregnancy to safeguard the mother and baby during its birth. The display of the puppet would symbolically "bring down" Nyi and Ki Brayut and so magically intervene to assist in a safe birth. This puppet was often used from the early 1970s onwards in government campaigns urging the use of birth control to limit family size. Purchased in Java in the early 1970s. . unknown
