This Man hand puppet is an old find from an authentic Punch & Judy Set direct from the UK. Dating back to the 1920-30s, this one of a kind piece has a very expressive wooden head, carved and hand painted by an unknown self-taught Artist. His unique expression exudes that adorable folk art quality. He's dressed in a colorful costume and wears a long felt hat. On a professional setting, metal hooks serve to hang the puppets inside the theater booth. Their presence here is a strong indication that it was used in real performances. This puppet shows signs of age acquired over its many decades of life and is missing its hands. Nevertheless, the imperfections only add to its character, making this puppet a great addition to any vintage folk art lover.
