Antique early 20th century, Burmese puppet marionette!Marionette is in its original costume and sits on a black metal stand.

Folk art with a purpose Wonderful workmanship complete with a unique hand carved and hand-painted face, in original textile garments.

The mouth opens and body parts all move.

Marotte rod is included with this puppet. Which, of course isn’t original so if you don’t want the stand please let us know. I have seen a lot of these and I must say the size and the workmanship on our is much more desirable and unique Dimensions are Width almost 11 inches Height is 30 inches tall.

That’s tall!!! Original strings and handle as well.

Someone could probably get it working condition, but it’s more for decorative purposes now.

A true piece of history and art! So many little details it’s hard to believe how much work went into this one.


Likely from the early 1900s if not older. Somewhat fragile yet it’s amazing how it has survived so well.
