This beautifully hand-carved puppet features a detailed painted wooden head, expressive facial features, and a functional articulated mouth operated by strings. The costume is original, with decorative textile elements and aged patina that reflects its history and use.
The puppet is fully jointed with traditional string control, although the strings are currently tangled and will require restoration. This makes it an ideal piece for collectors, restorers, or as a striking decorative object.
