I found this in the bins, from my research it is a Burmese puppet head. It appears to be very old, but I can't be sure of the age. It has glass eyes, horsetail hair and a wooden string that can be pulled to bring out the tongue. It is quite fabulous.  Here is a link to some that are for sale on an Asian art website: www.fareastasianart.com/stores/asianantiques/items/858420/item858420fareastasianart.htmlI have no clue how to authenticate it. It could be a reproduction for all I know, however I would think that a repro would be in better condition. WWYD? |

She is fantastic.
Not my area but I'm sure someone will have the info or give you a place to start.

It's something I wouldn't want to let go either.
She just has so much personality.

Oh, that's wonderful! If you don't have anyone in your area who sells things like that, you might want to post it on the eBay Collectibles board or go into one of the Antique sellers boards. Good luck with it--it seems no matter what happens, keep or sell, you have a woohoo!

That thing would freak me out, couldn't have it in my house no matter what it's worth. Glad you like her though LOL Hope she's a woohoo for you no matter what you decide to do with her.
