Subject:wooden heads, puppets?
Posted By: Johan Sat, Nov 24, 2012 IP: 84.194.176.55
Hello, can anyone tell me about these wooden and painted heads. Where do they come from and how old are they? I haven't got a clue, but bought them on a local fleamarket this morning.

Hopefully I receive some interesting answers.
Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Johan from Belgium

These look like Indonesian puppet heads, perhaps Javanese. Don't look brand new but probably not ancient either. I'd guess mid-20th century.

FYI, your URLs have garbage on the front and back that block their use as is. Copy them as shown below and they'll work:
