Standing Puppet

Orissa 

Wood with cloth

An articulated wooden puppet from Orissa in the style of Kundhei. This art is performed by puppeteers in groups that travel from village to village performing shows. Kundhei is considered as a dying art form as performers turn to more sustainable forms of income. The costumes of Kundhei resemble those worn by actors of the Jatra traditional theatre.
