Indonesian shadow puppets, or wayang kulit, are traditionally made from buffalo skin due to the material's durability and ability to produce fine details when carved. Buffalo skin is also relatively lightweight, allowing the puppets to be easily maneuvered during performances. Additionally, the cultural significance of the buffalo in Indonesian agriculture and daily life contributes to its use in this art form, making it a symbol of both craftsmanship and tradition.

Shadow puppets can vary in size depending on how they are made, but typically they range from a few inches to a foot in size. The size of a shadow puppet is determined by the distance between the light source and the screen where the shadow is being projected.
Puppets come in various forms across cultures, including hand puppets, marionettes, shadow puppets, and rod puppets. Hand puppets are operated by the puppeteer's hand, while marionettes are controlled by strings or wires. Shadow puppets are made from flat figures that are projected onto a screen, and rod puppets are manipulated through rods attached to their limbs. Each type reflects unique cultural traditions and storytelling techniques worldwide.
