Fritz Herbert Bross (1910-1976) was a German puppet maker and puppeteer that came from a family of wood sculptors. Originally trained as an engineer, he devoted his life to the world of puppets, developing some outstanding characters for puppeteers and theater companies alike. His creations combine a refined visual sensibility with a mastery of all technical aspects behind a professional puppet. His puppets are rare and highly sought after!
This fine Bross creation is a Blond Girl Hand Puppet that has an adorable expression. Her head is intricately carved and delicately hand-painted. Her colorful fabric costume makes her even more beautiful. This classic character is marked on the back of the neck and still holds the original paper tag, that is usually gone. This puppet is in very good vintage condition and although it appears to have never been used, the felt hands, apron and head bow show age wear with small holes and stains. Don't miss the opportunity of adding this rare and remarkable hand puppet to your collection!
