1970réf. 216219Indonesia. Before1970s. Water buffalo hide pigment gilt fabric and hair three of the four figures all with jointed arms painted both sides the arms and bodies affixed to spliced horn batons three for each puppet some abrasion and wear with some loss to the pigment but the set in very good condition: Semar body: 35 x 35 cms; Gareng: 36 x 16 cms; Petruk: 53 x 20 cms; Bagong: 41 x 23 cms. A set of four comedic Punakawan figures. Chief of these is Semar one of the most well-loved figures in Wayang both a humble servant and powerful god. "Semar is usually accompanied by his three adopted sons Gareng Petruk and Bagong and together they are known as the Punakawan 'knowing friends or attendants'." Gregory Churchill et al "Semar ever so smartly" Winayangan 2009. In this set Gareng is the eldest son who limps and has a crippled arm; Petruk is the middle child depicted as tall and lanky who has a distinctive long nose; Bagong is the youngest of the three: a chubby figure with big round eyes thick lips and naïve behaviour. ".the scene where Semar traditionally emerges is called the goro-goro “world in chaos”. The narration of the puppeteer speaks of earthquakes and storms that beset the cosmos but then announces Semar who appears like a shaft of light piercing the dark. Semar’s cosmic and comic humour promises the audience both laughs and wisdom. He is a clown who connects the cosmic and everyday. All opposites and contradictions dissolve in his wisdom and mythos."

1970réf. 216707Indonesia. Before1970s. Water buffalo hide gilt and pigment elaborately chiselled and cut out 54 x 69 cms arms fully extended painted both sides jointed arms each affixed to horn batons and another spliced horn baton holding the body. This Javanese 'wayang kulit' or leather shadow puppet represents Kresna Krishna in the Hindu epic the Mahabharata. His importance and the reasons for his great regard is that he is considered the 8th avatar of the god Wisnu Visnu the protector and preserver of good and destroyer of evil. The 7th avatar is Rama. In Soeharto’s New Order regime this “lineage” of avatars –particularly Rama--became significant in their own mythical presentation to themselves of the regime. It is in the Ramayana—not Mahabharata—that the final battle against evil forces was to be fought and the dharma upheld. "Kresna is part God an incarnation of the mighty Wisnu. He is the consummate politician diplomat and strategist of war. By far the most intellectually brilliant of the Pendawa sic faction it is Kresna who makes their final victory possible. On the other hand he is the conscienceless liar and an unscrupulous schemer who never hesitates to break the rules when he feels it necessary" Benedict R. O'G. Anderson "Mythology and the Tolerance of the Javanese" Cornell 1965. Also see: Joko Susilo Eisler Shadow-Puppet Collection Catalogue Bates College Lewiston Maine. A particularly fine example.

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.

The display of the puppet would symbolically "bring down" Nyi and Ki Brayut and so magically intervene to assist in a safe birth.
