Javanese Shadow Puppets (Oxford University Press, Images of Asia) by Ward Keeler

$25.00

Oxford University Press, 1992. Pictorial boards, octavo, 72 pp., illustrated in black & white and color. Very slight bowing to boards. Overall, near fine.

Wayang is the Javanese term for the dusk-til-dawn puppet performances still popular with Indonesian natives on ceremonially important days. Spectators watch the show from both sides of the stage, and witness depictions of Hindu epics and local cultural legends. I would take that over midnight mass.
