Absolutely gorgeous unique Asian hand painted, hand made puppet. Very colourful and would make a fabulous decoration. The eyes move when you pull on the string. See video.
The item is in used condition with paint peeling and cracking due to its vintage age.
This intricately hand carved wooden head would have been part of a puppet figure used during puppet shows possibly on the island of Java in Indonesia, or perhaps on other islands of the Island nation.

Vintage/Antique Items:
Please note that most vintage/antique items may have minor wear due to their age and being loved, which we believe only adds to the charm and patina of these pieces. Because the items sold in our shop are vintage or antique, there are often small condition issues, which we do our best to accurately disclose and photograph in the listings.
While we try very hard to describe our items accurately, it is possible that the eye of a true collector might see something that we do not. If you are particular about your vintage items, please ask questions before you buy. We really want you to be happy with your item and have confidence in your purchase.
