Originating in the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD), Chinese shadow puppets were made from donkey and ox leather, carved until transparent, dyed bright colors, and finally lit from behind by lantern light.
This is a Wayang Kulit puppet from Java, Indonesia. It is made from buffalo skin with rods made from cow horns.
Lotte Reiniger, influenced by Chinese shadow puppet plays, wrote and directed The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1923), the oldest surviving full-length stop-motion animated film, and used the first multi-plane animation camera a decade before Walt Disney.
