Nepalese Puppets

A taste of Nepalese culture. These two faced puppets have faces representing some of the many different deities found in Nepal. The faces are made of cotton and clay, which is then beautifully painted. The costumes and decorations on these fascinating puppets represent aspects of the different ethnic groups, such as Newari, Maithili, Sherpa etc to be found in the various regions of Nepal. The puppets shown here are dressed in the style of the Jayapu who are the farming caste among the Newar, one of Nepal’s largest ethnic groups. The costumes are hand made from hand woven fabrics.
