vintage puppet from Burma

Puppetry is a vehicle for entertainment and social commentary in Burma. It's a treasured art form and like comedy in the U.S., it allows the narrator to express ideas that may not be mainstream or even acceptable to some. This puppet has age. I'm sure it would have some splendid tales to share. It's 22" tall, 12" wide and 4" deep, It comes with the strings attached and controlling handle.
