These are finger puppets made of terracotta. I found them at an antique shop along the famously sleazy Chulia St. in Penang, Malaysia. This is my precious find in my Asian puppets collection.
Next to them is this hand puppet with head of plaster and a body of rolled cardboard. The head and hands are tied to a stick; the feet dangle on strips of cloth. It is labelled Made in Taiwan. This came with Dr. Maria Laosunthara's collection shipped to me from Thailand. For display, I prop him up on a miniature wooden chair I found at an Indian shop in Butterworth, Penang, Malaysia.
