Originally born as the daughter of Drupada, the king of Panchala, Shikhandi fought alongside his father in the Kurukshetra war. This character from the Mahabharata comes to life as a Balinese shadow puppet by Keni Suharjono. He handcrafts the image from leather, displayed on a stand of albesia wood. Because each puppet is decorated with batik, colors and motifs will vary, making this a unique and original work of art.
