Shadow Puppet3084/2

Shadow puppet of the character Tuzsuz Deli Bekir, made of semi-transparent animal skin and a watery paint. Puppet is a bearded man with a sword at his hip. He is clothed in loose garments, green and blue, with a small orange turban on his head. The skin is punctured to delineate lines in the clothing and divisions between limbs. The legs of the puppet are separate from the torso to create movement, with the pieces attached to each other by a thin string tie.
