Wayang Klitik - Java - first half 20th century - 58 cm - Indonesien (Ohne mindestpreis)

Here is a professional English translation for your Catawiki listing, optimized for the "Asian Art" category. Proposed Title: Antique Wayang Klitik Puppet (Wayang Krucil) – Hand-Carved Wood – Java, Indonesia – 58 cm Description: Authentic Javanese Wayang Klitik Puppet (Wayang Krucil) Up for auction is a rare and authentic Wayang Klitik puppet from the island of Java, Indonesia. While the more common Wayang Kulit puppets are made of leather, Wayang Klitik figures are meticulously hand-carved from thin wood, providing a unique relief-style aesthetic and a distinct "click" (klitik) sound during performances. This specific figure depicts a powerful mythological entity—likely a demon (Buta) or a fierce guardian spirit—distinguishable by its prominent, trunk-like nose, protruding tusks, and intense gaze. Condition & Craftsmanship: Material: Hardwood, polychrome painted in traditional black, deep red, and gold leaf/pigment. Artistry: The figure displays a beautiful, genuine patina. The gold accents show signs of age-related wear and rubbing, which authenticates its history as a functional performance piece rather than a modern souvenir. Construction: The main body is wood, featuring articulated arms. It remains attached to its original central handling rod. Dimensions: An impressive total length of 58 cm. Weight: Approximately 330 grams. Cultural Significance: Wayang Klitik plays originated in East Java and are traditionally used to tell the tales of the Damarwulan cycle (historic-mythical legends of the Majapahit Empire). Wooden puppets of this age and size are increasingly difficult to find, as they were subject to the tropical climate and the rigors of traveling theater troupes. This is an excellent acquisition for collectors of Southeast Asian tribal art or theatrical history. Auction Specifications: Object: Wayang Klitik Puppet Region: Java, Indonesia Period: First half of the 20th century (or earlier) Condition: Good antique condition with authentic signs of wear and age (please refer to the detailed photographs). Original polychromy. Dimensions: 58 cm (Length) Weight: 330 g
