Shadow Puppet3364/2

Shadow puppet, Hacivat, made of semi-transparent animal skin and a watery paint or dye, soaked into the skin. The puppet body and legs are separate pieces, tied together with a thin plastic cord through small holes. The figure is a male, wearing red short pants, with a green, red and orange tunic and hat, and red shoes with rectangular buckles. His one hand is under his beard; his other arm crosses the body so the hand is just below the other hand. He has a black pointed beard and a mustache. The main hole for the stick (to manipulate the puppet) is in his upper chest area. The maker's name is written along the back of one leg.
