Questions About Shadow Puppets
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022It is believed that shadow puppetry originated in China during the Han Dynasty, which is more than two thousand years ago. Shadow plays feature transparent shapes or puppets that are worked against a screen and lit from behind. Their colors and details are seen by the audience, so they aren’t just a shadow but a much more dynamic representation. Shop a collection of Chinese puppets from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
