Puppets

[Jonopen]

The figure making the comment is Keith Richards, in his own words, just a regular bloke.

Yes, but I don't think it is him. I was just trying be sort of funny when I saw the hair and headband!

nice pic jono - I recall seeing something like that in york maybe ?

The pic was taken at the Ethnographic Museum Kraków (Poland). The figures I believe were from an underground puppet theatre made during the Soviet era of Poland at a time when such things were tightly controlled or even banned.

Here's another pic taken the same time. Sorry it's bit nightmarish. The world of puppets can get very dark.



Just as an aside, Kraków is a really interesting place to visit. The people are friendly, the food is lovely and there's loads to do and see. Far too much for our quick visit.
