Added by WikiaBotWayang or Wajang (old Dialect) or Shadow Pupet is an Indonesian word for theater usil doll with use of shadow. When the term is used to refer to kinds of puppet theater, sometimes the puppet itself is referred to as wayang. Performances of shadow puppet theater are accompanied by gamelan in Java, and by "gender wayang" in Bali.
UNESCO designated Wayang Kulit, a shadow puppet theater and the best known of the Indonesian wayang, as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity on 7 November 2003. In return of the acknowledgment, UNESCO demanded Indonesia to preserve their heritage

While these carefully handcrafted puppets vary in size, shape and style, two principal types prevail:

- the flat leather shadow puppet (wayang kulit) projected in front of a screen lit from behind.
