19th Century Carnival Folk Art Carved Wooden Head with Zinc Hat

pkversion — Mon, 21 Oct 2024 22:47:28 +0000

This head is from a fair or carnival game.
Not sure what the game was, perhaps the head has been used to toss rings over, or maybe you were supposed to throw something in his mouth. His hat does not come off, so it probably was not a Charlie’s hat game, in which case the hat should have been able to get knocked of for you to win the hat.

The little holes in the bottom suggest it originally was mounted on something, rather than hanging on the eye/hook that is now in the back of his head. The head is hand carved from two blocks of wood glued together in the same manner that most fair carousel animals were carved back in the 19th century.

This particular head is painted brown with bright red lips.

19th Century Sicilian Italian Marionette Folk Art Puppet ‘Opera dei Pupi’

pkversion — Mon, 21 Oct 2024 22:44:25 +0000

A oversized late 19th century Marionette in original untouched condition, originating from Palmero Italy.

The figure is missing both arms, its original clothing is heavily faded and worn, the head is carved softwood with remnants of its original polychrome paint remain.

The internal pine construction is simple with iron work supports, the marionette has its original rod that the puppeteer would off operated the figure from. We have removed this and placed a piece of decorative silk for hanging, the puppet will be sold with both the ribbon and rod.

What remains of the marionette is stable and sturdy, clean and oder free. The overall faded appearance give the figure a highly decorative sculptural quality.

The figure itself measures 95cm in height approximate 23cm at widest point

The marionette is part of a larger collection that would have been used for the depiction of the Opera dei Pupi, a representation of Frankish romantic poems such as The Song of Roland. The figures would been shown from the sides of donkey carts decorated with intricate, painted scenes. Today, there are only a few troupes that maintain the tradition. They often perform for tourists. However, there are no longer the great historical families of marionnettists, such as the Greco of Palermo, the Canino of Cinisi and Alcamowe. We have shown the collection within the later photographs all of which are available.
