Originating in Indonesia, Wayang Kulit puppetry is an ancient form of shadow puppetry. The puppets are usually 2d, traditionally made from thin sheets of wood (however, they have also traditionally been made from rawhide), they have intricate designed carved into them which become even more noticeable when being used with the lit background.
They are used in-between a screen (typically a thing cloth) and a lighting source (i.e. a lamp) which casts a shadow forward to the audience. Wayang Kulit puppets are used to tell religious tales (depending on the region usually Hindu or Islamic stories) showing good and evil, and are usually there as some sort of educational purpose and have a moral to the story.
