Lordly Shades Wayang Purwa Indonesia by Pandam Guritno invites collectors into the spellbinding world of Javanese shadow puppetry. This 1985 softcover picture book pairs concise English text with vintage illustrations that capture the drama and symbolism of wayang purwa performances.

The volume shows its age honestly: the glossy wraps carry gentle edge scuffing and a strip of archival tape at the spine head, while inside hinges have been reinforced, leaving the binding solid for reading and display. Occasional page-edge rubs never interrupt the artwork, and the interior remains free of marks, notes, or dog-ears.

An affordable entry point for young adults, art historians, or anyone curating Indonesian culture on a shelf, this copy offers authentic patina without collector-level pricing. Keywords like illustrated wayang reference, shadow puppet history, and Pandam Guritno art guide make it easy to track down when you are ready to add a touch of Javanese heritage to your library.
