Great old Czech devil puppet. plate Very rare 19th century waxCharacterful puppet marionette that we sourced from Czech Republic. He is probably by Munzberg, who was one of the best known puppet makers. Well painted head and the usual cloven hoof and foot. He has a wooden body and plaster and paint head, hands and legs.
