Description

This vintage Mexican puppet is fashioned in the style of a 1910's revolutionary, with a mustache and shouldered "ammo belt" sometimes seen in photos of Pancho Villa. Item is approximately one foot in height, about 30 years old (purchased in Mexico in the late 90s); I believe it was handmade (hand-assembled?) using some very cheap factory-made pieces, like the plastic hands and molded head. The fabric has some fading, but otherwise fine condition. I am not a puppeteer nor a collector, if you have specific questions please ask before bidding.
