| Thai Heritage Conservation- Hun Krabok Puppets | |
Illustrate the string puppets of the Thai culture.
A puppet theatre in which the puppets are manipulated from below, rather than with a string from above. The head and neck of the puppet is sculpted from wood, whilst the body is made from a short bamboo cylinder called krabok, which is covered with a shirt without sleeves and richly embroidered with brocade, akin to the costumes worn by dancers in khon. |
