[Puppet Man]
Puppet Man, Qing Dynasty, 40 cm high
Traditional Chinese toys. The structure is simple. The head is mostly made of clay, and the body and hands are made of cloth. The thick stick controls the body, and the thin stick controls the movements of both hands. The puppets mainly perform actions. Because the operation needs training, there are usually special people dancing in the palace for watching. The first half of my life has records of eunuchs performing puppet shows for Puyi
