Figure carving, Siciliaanse theaterpop - 53 cm - Wood, Brass

2 beautiful antique Sicilian theater puppets,
one for old stories (opera); these handmade puppets date from around 1920/1930
or earlier?

Since 2001, these (opera/theater) puppets
have been displayed in various museums and are on the list of
masterpieces of what has now become the cultural
heritage of humanity.
(The red puppet has suffered a little more from age
around the metal sword.)

Average puppet size: around 50 cm.
