Description

This handcrafted puppet reflects that heritage, embodying Vietnam’s deep cultural connection to water, agriculture, and performance arts. 

Originating in the Red River Delta of northern Vietnam, water puppetry is a celebrated art form dating back to the 11th century. In this tradition, wooden lacquered puppets are skillfully maneuvered across the water’s surface to depict scenes from rural life, folklore, and mythology—often with spectacular effects such as fire-breathing dragons, water fountains, and lively storytelling. 

A wonderful piece of folk art, it carries both decorative charm and historical significance. Pictures don't do this piece justice - Quite unique! Wear consistent with age and use. See pictures for further details. Happy Bidding!
