A pair of hand-operated puppets depicting the traditional Italian Commedia dell’arte character Pulcinella. The heads are constructed from a moulded composition material or hard plastic, featuring hand-painted details including a distinctive black mask, red lips, and a tall white conical hat. Both puppets are dressed in simple, full-length off-white fabric tunics. One puppet features a red fabric band at the neck, while the other has a contrasting orange band. These items are designed to be operated manually by inserting a hand into the tunic. No maker’s marks, labels, or stamps are visible on the items.
