This large shadow puppet depicts the monkey deity Hanuman. Hanuman was Rama's most trusted and valuable officer in the Rankien. During Rama's war against the demon king Toskanth, Rama asked Hanuman to infiltrate the court of Toskanth. Hanuman tricked Toskanth into believing that he had defected to the demon's side.

Description
This shadow puppet probably depicts the simian deity Hanuman. It is also possible that the puppet illustrates the demon king Toskanth instead.

This shadow puppet is made from either cow or water buffalo leather. It has four wooden sticks bound to the leather with twine for controlling the puppet.

Description
This shadow puppet appears to depict a tiger. It is made from eight overlapping pieces of very thin cow leather. The pieces are joined by small pieces of rope with knots on each end.

The back torso piece has the tail and the two other legs attached to

Australopithecus and Paranthropus. Australopithecus: Ramapithecus and this early form of Australopithecus, the first certain hominid, are seperated by a gap of nine million years. In this time, the prehumans made great advances - they walked upright, lived on the ground and may have used stones in their defense; Paranthropus: though he stood erect and had hominid features, Paranthropus represents an evolutionary dead end in man's ancestry.
