This vintage Sicilian puppet represents an authentic expression of traditional Italian craftsmanship. The 30-centimeter-tall figure depicts Angelica, the famous heroine of the epic tale of chivalry, and is a highly sought-after piece for collectors of folk art and regional traditions. The articulated puppet wears ceremonial armor in embossed metal, embellished with gold and silver details. The face is hand-painted with defined features, while the helmet is topped with a striking blue feather plume. The outfit includes a blue fabric skirt with gold trim and a dark, trimmed cape. The figure comes complete with a sword and decorated shield, typical of paladin iconography. The overall condition is good, with a patina that testifies to its age and authenticity. The mechanical structure of the strings for the movement is present, maintaining the original character of the theatrical puppet. This Sicilian puppet fits perfectly into eclectic or classic environments, serving as a decorative element with a strong cultural impact. It's ideal for display in a showcase or hanging on a wall, adding a touch of Italian history and folklore to any collection or living space.
