Quite old vintage Mexican bandito string puppet/marionette measures 11" tall & includes a wooden T string holder.
I would say he is made of paper mache. He has a gun in his right hand & at one time would have been pretty sharp in his native outfit.
I had trouble getting the strings untangled & don't know a thing about puppets.
His clothes are showing their age. His face is in quite good condition.
I think he would be pretty clever for one who knows how to operate a puppet.
I am also listing 4 Mexican dolls that came with him in another listing.
I am always happy to combine shipping with any of my other listings.
