Vintage Hand Puppet Folk Doll Czech OPE TURNOV Puppet Theater Ceramic Head #30

This is a charming vintage hand puppet, a folk art character doll with a distinct European feel. The puppet features a hand-painted or composition head with expressive blue eyes and a wide smile, and a soft cloth body. It is dressed in a traditional costume, including a cream-colored shirt, a dark blue vest with red piping and a row of decorative buttons, and tan trousers. The puppet's hands are made of stuffed cloth. A significant detail is the original tag, which reads "OPE TURNOV" and "30". This suggests a connection to a puppet theater in Turnov, a town in the Czech Republic with a rich history of puppetry. The tag number "30" could indicate a specific character or a catalog number. This puppet is a unique piece of collectible folk art and would be a wonderful addition to a collection of dolls, puppets, or theatrical memorabilia. It is in good vintage condition with some signs of age appropriate for a toy of this type.
