The finest objects brought to you by {name}

Amy Wassing

Wayang golek; particularly Indonesian stick puppets.
These are 2 female and 2 male, exquisite, finely designed stick puppets with punchy facial expressions. 
Of particular note is the white colour of the face, which is reserved for portraying genteel characters. The headdress and hair form part of the carved head, but are highlighted by the shape and colouring. Sometimes, they are enhanced by attaching small objects, such as small beaded chains on the temples. Such beaded pendants are used as earrings for women. To complement this, they wear high-necked, longer-length brocade tops, called kebayas with a kain (long skirts) in typical batik patterns. Due to their age, there are slight signs of wear and tear on the clothing. The stick puppets are supplied with their matching wooden bases.

The average size of the figures is over 60 cm.

Of course, they will be sent carefully packaged with tracking.

Unique Objects

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
<p>1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.</p>
<p>2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.</p>

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?

Bids exclude the auction fee and shipping costs, which will be added during final payment.
