Description from the seller
Lot of 4 wooden jointed puppets (cats, pig and frog)
We offer a distinctive lot of four hand-carved and hand-painted wooden sculptures (puppets), depicting three cats and a frog. These are folk art pieces imported directly from Indonesia.
Main Features
Material: Hand-carved and hand-painted wood.
Origin: Imported from Indonesia.
Function: Articulated figures, often used as a 'saltimbanco' or as decorative ornaments ('shelf sitters') with dangling legs.
Height: The maximum height of each piece is around 37 cm, as specified.
Conditions of the object
The overall condition of the lot is fair. Restored. The pieces show signs of wear consistent with age and use (small chips in the paint, mild abrasions), which contribute to their rustic, artisanal charm. The pig, however, has a structural flaw. The hinged/mechanisms are functioning. It is advised to carefully view all the photographs to assess their condition.
