"Exquisite and a bit of religious history."





The craftsmanship is exquisite and detailed. I am so happy that there are artists in this world who produce this ancient craft so we keep it alive for our grandchildren.

"These are now displayed in my curio cabinet."





I bought 2 of these Gunungan. Very beautiful, intricate detail perforated leather and painstakingly painted. It?s sure an eye catching display, to add to my shadow puppet (wayang puppet) theatre in my curio cabinet. I am originally from Indonesia, and had never seen such a beautiful Gunungan like the one made by Mujiyono.
