Wayang
is a generic term denoting traditional theatre in Indonesia. There is no
evidence that wayang existed before Hinduism was brought to Southeast Asia from
India around the first century CE. This leads to the hypothesis that the art
was imported from India or China, both of which have a long tradition of shadow
puppetry and theatre in general. However, there very well may have been
indigenous storytelling traditions that had a profound impact on the
development of the traditional puppet theatre.

Indonesian
painting before the 19th century are mostly restricted to the decorative arts,
considered to be a religious and spiritual activity. Artists name are
anonymous, since the individual human creator was seen as far less important
than their creation to honor the deities or spirits. Some examples are the
Kenyah decorative art, based on endemic natural motifs such as ferns and
hornbills, found decorating the walls of Kenyah long houses.
