This fabulous set of two antique puppet dolls of an old man and old lady are made of wood and clay having wood bodies, arms, legs and clay heads, bottom of their legs and hands.

These rod marionette figures which date from the early 20th century have movable limbs and would have once had strings attached to the limbs running down from their wire and wood supports in order to make them move.

These two European figures which are most probably Czech have a real charm and make nice unusual decorative pieces.
