Vtg Indonesian .800 Sterling Silver Kulit Shadow Puppet Spoons Set of 6 w/ Box
This set of six Indonesian .800 sterling silver spoons features the Kulit carved on the top of each one. Wayang Kulit is a popular form of shadow theater in Indonesia. The word wayang can refer to the puppet or the entire puppet theater performance. The term wayang kulit literally translates to "the theater in which the immortalized ancestors and deities appear in the shape of figures made of skin." Scholars believe the wayang kuilt originated in India more than 800 years ago. Traditional performances can last up to nine hours. The spoons are in good shape though could use polishing since some of them are tarnished. I did a quick polish with a cloth on one and it shined up nicely. They come in a paper box with a multicolored swirled lid. Get your unique set today!
Condition: The spoons are in good shpae with no dings, flaws, or dents. They could use more polishing as there is tarnish on them. I polished one with a cloth, and it shined up nicely. Please carefully review the images as they serve as an extension of the description.
