Javanese Rama dancer pursues golden deer in performance

A Javanese dancer playing Rama pursues another dancer wearing the costume of a golden deer in a performance at Yogyakarta in July 1986. Here Rama walks with his arrow drawn across his bow while the deer, really a demon sent to lure him away from Sita, is seen in the background.
