Wayang Kidang Kencana (Kidang Kencana = Golden deer)

WAyang Kidang Kencana has a smaller form and size in comparison with the normal wayang purwo. Because of its small size, the wayang kidang kencana is usually played by a woman or a child "dalang" (leading artist). The source of the stories is taken from the Mahabarata and Ramayana epics.
This "wayang kidang kencana" was born in 1556 A.D., based on the era "Salira Dwija DAdi RAja", which indicates the year of 1478 Caka; and it was created by "Sinuwun Tunggaling Giri" (the King whose kingdom is not clear as to the location there-of).
The perfection of the form and jewelry (accessories) was conducted by Sunan Giri together with Prince Trunggono. And the important improvement was that all clothes which in reality should have been made of gold, were gold leaf painted. That's why they were called "wayang kidang kencana".
