A mid-century Czech marionette depicting a traditional villager or forester figure. Crafted with a hand-painted papier-mâché head, hands, and tall black boots, featuring elasticated limbs for movement. He wears a dark green jacket, brown trousers, and a matching green Alpine-style hat complete with a red felt trim, suspended from his original central metal rod and string mechanism.
Measures approximately 17.5 x 7 cm, with a total height of 37 cm including the metal rod.
This vintage string puppet makes a unique addition to any Czech marionette collection, theatrical display, or vintage toy cabinet.
Care will be taken when packaging for postage, though some minor untangling of the strings may be needed when unpacked.
The condition is good with light age-related wear to the paintwork and fabric.
This piece would suit theatrical prop collectors, vintage toy enthusiasts, fairytale decor lovers, or bohemian interior displays.
