Burmese artists created these wooden puppets, which are mobilized with the help of the strings attached to the different parts of the puppets, in order to replace living dancers, allowing for the performance to be more convenient and more animated . They are made of teak, and have the added excitement of the tongue being able to stick out on command. Rare and such a phenomenal piece, great buy!-Vintage-Approx. 3" wide x 4 1/4" tall-Approx. 142.3 grams-Shan State-Burmese Hill Tribe-Teak Wood-Tongue Sticks Out-Puppet Head* A Burmese puppet play is like a ballet - a story told with music and dances. Puppet plays have also been used as a communication tool to voice ideas or concerns upward to the nobility or ruling government. Sometimes these comedy routines bring to light some serious political subject. Since the characters involved in breaching political protocol are often fools and merely puppets, then the political message or satire is permitted where the human puppeteer might not have the same freedom of speech outside of the play.*This picture displays the exact item that you will receive.
