Pair Hand Carved Polychrome Indian Puppets,c1890

19th century

Sold by Curious Antiques

Description

Pair of late 19th century Indian hand carved polychrome puppets, c1890. Probably from North India they are beautifully carved and painted. The colours, mainly greens, red and gold are still vibrant with just the right amount of wear. They have been placed on later wood bases and both are missing their hands ,which is not unusual in older examples. This is all part of their character and history and in no way detracts from their naïve beauty. Please refer to the detailed photographs and feel free to contact me if you would like to view the item or have any questions.

Price includes FREE UK shipping please contact me regarding international shipping.

Size: On base 33cm tall x 12cm wide x 12cm deep, figures only 28cm tall x 10cm wide x 9cm deep, weight 1.4 kg for both. I will happily ship worldwide.
