[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9606204, member: 2844"]My oddities have been posted here before. They are my "Loro Blonyo" caricatures. Loro Blonyo are traditional wedding figures from Central Java. This couple was made in Yogyakarta. The pointy faces are inspired by Wayang puppets, but exaggerated. Yogya has a tradition of Wayang caricature art, often used for political or religious satire. When I saw these two, I just had to have them.:joyful: [ATTACH=full]466948[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]466949[/ATTACH] Btw, the bridegroom has a keris tucked into the back of his waistband.[/QUOTE]
