HISTORY: During the early 20th century, the tradition of puppet theater in Eastern Europe was thriving, and small theater groups were formed in many villages. These were from such a theater group originally. CHARMING for display, can be seated or hung.
Puppets are numbered on the back of the wood. All have at least one limb still attached with the string, some have more. VERY expressive faces. These and other puppets are available in our eBay store connectibles.
