The overall condition is good, with a natural patina that testifies to its age and use over time. The original materials are well preserved, maintaining the object's historic charm. Ideal as a collector's item or decorative element, this puppet fits perfectly in eclectic or classic settings. It represents a fascinating fragment of theatrical and artisanal history, capable of enriching any space with its scenic presence.
