Wayang Beber is the art of wayang that emerged and developed on Java in pre-Islamic times and is still developing in certain regions of Java. It was named wayang beber because it was in the form of sheets (beberan) which were formed into figures in wayang stories both Mahabharata and Ramayana.

Pictures of puppet characters are depicted on a piece of cloth or paper, then sequentially arranged scene by scene according to the story order. These pictures are played out in a way.
