Vintage Italian Sicilian Pupa Puppet Marionette Charlemagne Knight Folk Art Green

This striking, vintage Knight marionette puppet represents Sicilian / Italian folk puppetry, featuring expressive hand-painted facial details, metal armor, shield, and weapon. This piece displays beautifully and has the presence collectors look for in antique and vintage marionettes. It would look good in your curiosity cabinet or anywhere in your house.

The Charlemagne knight wears aged bronze metal chest armor with hand-crafted decorative embossing, articulated arms and legs, Purple and Red corduroy-style fabric trousers, sculpted boots, and a metal shield with raised detailing. The hand-carved, wood face shows bold painted features.

The body is about 15.5 inches long.

This marionette is Italian / Sicilian-style and reminiscent of traditional knight figures often associated with historic European puppetry.
