Antique wooden puppet

A rare vintage wood carved and painted puppet, possibly from the Ringling Barnum & Baily Circus, from what I was told from the dealer by the previous owner
Purchased from an antique shop in Sarasota FL, most or all of the strings and wood controller are intact, all original fabric clothing is still there with some normal wear, eyes look like porcelain inserted into the carved wooden face, the hinged articulated mouth and hands operated by a separate string on controlling plate, the entire piece is exceptionally well made and designed for a professional artist in the performance field, the size is quite large at approximately 24″ on puppet figure, this doesn’t include the strings and operating block, glass dome is not included in this purchase but can be negotiable on purchase, more photos and details to follow.
Thanks again for your interest
