Leather tree of life, 'Show Intro' Toys Games Dolls 
An arboreal character,
its colorful tendrils of green and purple elegantly interrupt the
lacy canopy. The kayonan, or tree of life, symbolizes the
source of existence, serving as an allegory during puppet shows
to mark the beginning and end of the story told.
Lends a dignified aspect to any varied space. Kadek Wira
is a master in the art of Wayang, using shadow
puppets to preserve the wisdom of ancient stories like the
Mahabharata epic and Ramayana, among others. The process of making
a puppet begins with sketching upon the scraps of cowhide,
after which the design is carved, adorned with acrylic paints,
and set on a stick made of coffee wood. An
intriguing and illustrative glimpse of Balinese culture. Shadow puppets play
a significant role in Balinese moral and spiritual instruction, through
a ceremony called Wayang Kulit. Puppet masters, or dalangs, re-enact
Hindu stories and epics, not only controlling the puppet performance
but also singing in four different languages and arranging the
lighting, usually produced with oil lamps. The dalang's position also
requires great endurance, as the Wayang Kulit ceremony generally lasts
three to six hours.
