Burmese puppet

Burmese puppet in hand-carved and painted wood, dressed in a costume richly adorned with pearls, sequins, glass cabochons, its hat and its little shoes. Object from the traditional Burmese theater, called "yoke tea", combining entertainment and societal criticism. If you master the dexterity, you will see the puppet gracefully move with the help of its many joints connected to the wooden hand controller by fine threads. If this is not the case, this incredible collector's item will brighten up your interior with its golden colors and its illuminated face. Height: 38cm. Width: 30cm. Depth: 6cm. (57cm stretched threads). (1950). A souvenir from another era, this object may present some tests of time.
