Description
String puppet of a devil character with a Baroque style head. The devil is shirtless with raccentuated ribs on the chest. Their head is bald with two red horns that curl back. The face is held in a grimace with teeth bared. They wear plaid shorts with metal shackles around the waist, arms and thighs. The waist shackle has a length of chain attached. While the overall appearance is human-like, the lower legs are goat-like with hooves. The chest and lower legs have red splotches on the skin. His hands, legs and face are carved. Puppet is moved by a wooden control stick with wood crossbeams, with marionette strings attached to head, shoulders, hands and knees. The control stick has an ornate 'VK' carved on it.
