Chinese Peking Opera Theatre Puppet Marionette Doll with Dragon Robe Early 1900s

About the Item

A wonderful work complete with a unique wood-carved and hand-painted face and original textile garment/ robe with a dragon symbol. From a group of 7 Chinese opera puppets, we acquired from a collector. Each puppet shows clear signs of previous stage use. Likely from the early 1900s. Would make for a great addition to any Chinese artifacts collection or eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting. The listing is for the puppet only (no marotte rod included). Dimensions: 17" high, 8.5" wide, 4" deep.
