This is a traditional Indonesian Wayang Golek puppet, a wooden marionette originating from West Java, Indonesia. The puppet is used in traditional puppet theatre performances, which are often based on epic stories such as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.

Wayang Golek puppets are often hand-carved and carefully painted. They play an important role in Indonesian culture and are used to convey stories, moral lessons and cultural values. This particular specimen appears to represent a royal or noble character, given the refined details and elegant clothing.
