DEVIL Hand Puppet ~ Early 20th Century Rare! rabbi The soilingDating back to the early 20th Century, this Devil Hand Puppet is a beautiful find from a Punch and Judy collection made in Germany. The face is very expressive and is nicely carved and hand painted. It has a vivid fabric body with wooden hands, a foot and a cloven hoof.
