Step into the colorful world of traditional Indian puppetry with this remarkable vintage marionette puppet featuring two hand-painted faces – one vibrant yellow, one dramatic black – symbolizing duality, transformation, or theatrical character roles.

Handmade in India, likely from Rajasthan or Bengal, this puppet dates from the 1950s to 1970s. It is crafted using traditional materials:
– Hand-carved wooden limbs

– Textile costume with multicolored stripes and embroidered belt
– Metal pendant on the waist and a beaded chain around the neck
– Natural fiber string controls

🎨 Visible aging and wear add to its authenticity and charm – this is not a reproduction but a genuine vintage piece of cultural heritage.
