Each piece is individual and unique, and looks even more natural that the real thing. The Indonesian wooden puppets are traditional flat carved pieces that have been passed down through centuries. Traditional patterns such as these have a deep history that only the carvers know, and is not revealed to the sons until they are ready to carry on the tradition. All of these are individually carved, and if you acquire them they are only for your home. No one else's, just yours.
