Gununggan the Wayang Fine Art

      Ok let's talk about "Gununggan".As you can see the picture above a ship and the top have the shape like a fan.It is call "Gununggan".It is a big fan like a mountain.From the stories of "Wayang Kulit",the entrance to the palace of gununggan is guarded by 3 monsters equipped with bows and arrows and also sword.Ok,the "Gununggan" is one of the prop you need in "Wayang " presentation.Inside the  gununggan have insects of all types of species.As you can see from my web.http://tumadipatri.webs.com  the first  painting is the garden  inside the "gununggan" .As you can see i draw butterflies,worms,croaches etc.This painting is large ,I can occupy alot of insects.Jus kiddin.That is why some of my painting have insects , all connected to the imaginary stories of "wayang kulit'.
When "Wayang " or puppet begin to play, the "Gununggan" is the first you will see because it is an introduction that the show will begin .Once the play starts,it will move to a side and will reappear again for the next episode.

I'm so sorry the picture above is not complete because I have to crop it to prevent duplicating.I'm sorry again if the words I use was wrong.
