Cultural Papercraft - Reog Ponorogo

Reog Ponorogo PapercraftSal Azad has another amazing papercraft based on Indonesian heritage, the Rego Ponorogo is a traditional dance that has a tiger's head and a wide-winged peacock as the principal features.
Ponorogo is most well known for the reog mask dance, which is said to have been created by one of the kings of Kediri in the 12th century. The performance re-enacts a legendary battle between Pujangga Anom, a minister from the court of Ponorogo, and Singa Barong, guardian spirit of the forest of Lodoyo. The former had aroused the anger of Singa Barong when he stole 150 tigers from the forest, apparently to be offered as a dowry payment for a princess of Kediri, whom the king of Ponorogo wished to marry.
