| Abstract | The Museu Nacional de Etnologia (MNE) has a collection from Indonesia with about a thousand objects related to different cultural expressions, including performative practices. Includes 421 wayang kulit puppets acquired in three places on the island of Java: Cirebon, Surakarta and Jakarta, the present investigation concerns those objets. We introduce the ambit of the collection’s making and its gathering context. This explanation is engaged with our methodological choices, in order to resolve issues arising from the limits imposed by the scarcity of information at the acquisition period and the difficulties of returning to the field. The theorical framework of the wayang kulit in the context of Java is elaborated according to our interpretation of this type of theater as an expression of visual art and performative practice, dependent on the creative abilities of the puppeteer. To the public the success of the presentation dependes on the puppeteer’s performance interwoven with the figures that form images moving on a screen. It also depends on the continuous transmission, of the values, attitudes and traits of the characters, through repetition and innovation stories. The methodological approach for identifying the puppets of the MNE is developed from three perspectives: the research literature related to puppets of wayang kulit; the information contained in the documentation of the inventory files, written in 1974 based on data supplied by the collector, and by last the observation of the figures, their morphology and iconography, revealing styles, regional differences and similarities.
