Step into the early days of Waldorf educational toys with this charming 1930s head of a Devil hand puppet character. Made in Germany following Rudolf Steiner’s philosophy, this toy was carefully handcrafted using natural materials. Its amazing expression, intentionally open and "unfinished", is designed to come alive through a child’s imagination. Its head is finely carved from a single block of linden wood, shaped into a soft, archetypal form with only suggestive features. Simple eye hollows, a subtle nose and the natural wood grain warming through a gentle watercolor blush. The body is missing but still a very nice piece! Bearing almost a century old, this rare hand puppet head is a soulful object of the anthroposophical craft tradition that you don't want to miss!
