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 Grandmother Hand Puppet is a perfect example of Bross's expressiveness and care for detail. Her head is carefully carved in wood and delicately hand-painted. Her detailed fabric costume makes her even more atractive. This classic character is marked on the back of the neck. This puppet is in very good vintage condition and appears to have never been used. Don't miss the opportunity of adding this rare and remarkable hand puppet to your collection!
