This wooden Antique Indonesian Wayang Kulit Puppet Lamp was a traditional style lamp used in Wayang Kulit performances before electricity was accessible in the villages throughout Indonesia. In Indonesia, the lamp is referred to as blencong, it hangs above the puppeteer’s head who sits on the stage behind a large white screen during a performance whilst a flame coming from a metal vessel filled with coconut oil seated on top of the tray projects a flickering light onto the screen and puppets which are viewed by the audience on the other side of the screen as a shadow.
