Mural guide
On a snowy village night, a lamp lights a white screen in a reed shed where two mounted warriors clash with spears. A performer works them with rods as musicians play fiddle and gong, and villagers in padded coats crowd in front.
Plays acted by carved leather or paper figures, their shadows cast on a lit screen
