Up for sale is this great antique hand carved & hand painted puppet.  The puppet's head is made of carved wood, and the body is made of cloth.  It is a larger sized puppet which measures approximately 22.5 inches long from head to foot.  The wooden head measures approximately 5 1/2 inches long and 3 inches in wide.  The puppet has some typical signs of wear with some scuffing and wear to the paint and some fraying, loose thread, and small holes and tears to the cloth.  The white shirt has some areas of fabric loss and the face looks like it may have been repainted at some point.  There is a little staining to one of the cloth hands.  The puppet most likely dates from some time around the early 1900's-1920's.  All in all a nice and unique antique devil puppet.
