General Auction Including Watches, Jewels, Collectables & Antiques (Only 14% Buyers Commission)
An Indian Rajasthani string puppet, or marionette, featuring a carved and painted head and hands, likely of wood or composition material. The puppet is dressed in a vibrant, traditional-style costume made of red, satin-like fabric with extensive gold floral patterns. It is richly embellished with faux pearl and beaded jewelry, including a nose ring, multiple necklaces, and intricate headwear featuring yellow and pink accents. Yellow yarn tassels adorn the wrists. Red control strings connect to a simple cross-shaped bar, likely wood or reinforced cardboard covered in felt. The aesthetic, including the ornate costume and jewelry, suggests a traditional Indian or South Asian style.
