| Popis: |             Since early centuries of Christian ca lendar, the Indian epics Mahabharata and Ramayana ha ve widely spread across the Nusantara Archipelago. By the time the se epics arrived here , the y were not presented in their genuine form s , but ha d been adopted and localized in order to approach the natives. The adaptation process includ ed t a k ing the shadow theatrical form, translati ng and interpretati ng the stories, and transforming character and visual descriptions which were manifested into puppet form.            One of the character transformations which include s personality and visual descriptions was done to Priest Drona, the vital character role d as guru to both Pandawas and Kurawas, who was trapped inside the dilemma among his disciples. In Javanese version, Drona has been transformed into an ambiguous, mischievous, and slightly humorous character. In Cirebon version, Drona was depicted as an evil character who provoked the Battle of Bharata yuddha. Drona puppet himself ha s unique and specific visual attributes compar ed to other puppet main characters , and each form of puppet Drona possess a high symbolic meaning beneath them. The problem is how do the visual attributes of each puppet tell us about the character’s complexity? This paper analyze s every visual variation of Drona leather puppet in Cirebon using the Art Criticism methods and semiotics referring to general Javanese Shadow Puppetry performance . This analysis proves the complexity of the character based on the differences of cloth, accessories and other visual attributes from Cirebon perspective.  Keywords : Cirebonese leather puppets, character, Drona, visual attributes |
