Burmese marionette doll.
This is an amazing and expressive Burmese puppet! He has such an incredible expression, and would be a really beautiful addition to any home. Lovely old rustic beauty. Still shiny after all these years. At the height of its popularity between 1820 and 1885, the puppet theatre in Burma was considered superior to the live theatre, such was the degree of skill and expertise exhibited by the puppeteers.
