A pair of beautiful polychrome painted wooden puppet heads with moving mouth on a stand. Eyes made of glass.   The first head has its complete mechanism: the moving part can be set in motion by pulling the string. ts height: 14.5 cm. It is nicely mounted on a custom stand. The second head misses part of its mechanism. Its height: 15 cm. It too is nicely mounted on a custom stand. Both heads were made in Burma / Myanmar at the beginning of the 20th century.
