Vintage Handmade Folk Art Hand Puppet Composition Head Embroidered Costume Oddity Or, leaning harder into the collector market: Antique Style Vintage Folk Art Puppet Composition Head Hand Embroidered Costume Oddity I prefer the first because it doesn’t imply an age we haven’t established. Description Striking vintage handmade folk/theatrical hand puppet featuring a hollow composition-style painted head, blue felt hands and an elaborate black textile costume with cream hand-embroidered botanical designs. The puppet has wonderful primitive folk-art character and substantial authentic age-related patina. Head shows extensive crazing/cracking to the painted surface, with wear and losses around the neck opening. Costume shows age-related wear, fraying and discoloration. Please review all photographs carefully for condition. An unusual display piece for a vintage puppet collection, folk-art collection, theatrical memorabilia, curiosity cabinet or oddities collection. Maker, exact age
