This is a typical rendition of the Czech Devil as he appears in folk tales and stories. He has a classic marionette skeleton of wood, notice that his shoes are also carved from wood. His hands and face are cast out of a unique plaster like compound then meticulously hand-painted. Notice the attention to detail - patchwork clothes, hair, and accessories. ** Comes in larger size. ** Be sure to view our antique Devil marionettes to see the origins of this particular design. ***Please note that each marionette is an original and the costume may differ slightly from the picture above. |
