Marionette (String) Puppet on a Swing

Marionette Puppet on a Swing

• Very good condition
• Small glue residue stain on the left-hand side of his back
• No holes or tears
• No cracks or scratches on the face
• Never been used

Suspended and controlled by a number of strings, plus a central ring attached to a horizontal control bar held from above by the puppeteer. Basic strings for operation are attached to the head and the swing. There is a velcro strip on the string that attaches to another strip on the puppet's bum so that he doesn't fall off during the performance. This form of puppetry is complex and sophisticated to operate, requiring greater manipulative control than a finger, glove or rod puppet.
