Object description

Skuggspelsdocka av ogarvat läder, från ko eller vattenbuffel. Dockan är monterad i en trästav som kluvits ca två tredjedelar av sin längd, den okluvna delen av staven fungerar som handtag. Dockan har inga rörliga delar.

Dockan föreställer en apa. Enligt Generalkatalogen "en apa som deltar i striden". Sannolikt är det fritagningen av prinsessan Sita som åsyftas (Ramayana).

Apan har en mörkblå kroppsfärg med röda konturer på den ena sidan. Den andra sidan är brun med röda och vita streck. Kroppen är hårbevuxen, ögonen runda och tänderna vassa och stora.

I den ena handen bär han en en oidentifierad röd frukt.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
