<p>[QUOTE="Ronald_D, post: 9615653, member: 20370"]Good morning, As a collector of balinese woodcarvings, kamasan paintings and javanese wayang puppets i'm interested in the stories behind these objects. For the statues and paintings it's about the inspiration of the artist. The puppets caracters have a certain role in the different stories of the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Often i get questions about the names of wayang puppets so i'm trying to explain how to determine the caracter. Further i noticed that many people, who own a nice wooden statue, don't know the story behind the statue or what the statue is about. Then i got the idea to setup a wiki-website where visitors can find alot of information about the statues, paintings and wayang puppets. Registered users can change and add information to existing pages and make new pages.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please take a look .... <a href="https://www.wiki-indonesian-art.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.wiki-indonesian-art.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.wiki-indonesian-art.com</a> At the welcome-page you find links to the first pages of the different categories and every category-page has it's object-pages in the right menu. </p><p> </p><p>The index-page for wooden statues:</p><p><a href="https://www.wiki-indonesian-art.com/index.php?title=Category:Wood_Carvings_*_Statues" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.wiki-indonesian-art.com/index.php?title=Category:Wood_Carvings_*_Statues" rel="nofollow">https://www.wiki-indonesian-art.com/index.php?title=Category:Wood_Carvings_*_Statues</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>The index-page for Wayang Golek Puppets:</p><p><a href="https://www.wiki-indonesian-art.com/index.php?title=Category:Wayang_Golek_Puppets" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.wiki-indonesian-art.com/index.php?title=Category:Wayang_Golek_Puppets" rel="nofollow">https://www.wiki-indonesian-art.com/index.php?title=Category:Wayang_Golek_Puppets</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>At the moment i'm working on the online-wayang-golek-puppet-database, based on all 797 variants of the book of Peter Buurman and additional information about wayang golek puppets who are not mentioned in that book.
