Storyteller puppets - Santal - Bihar - India (No Reserve Price)

Beweegbare vertelpoppen die tijdens Santal-festivals en bruiloften worden gebruikt. Deze vertelpoppen stellen een rij dansende vrouwelijke voorouders voor. Het Santal-volk is een bevolkingsgroep in Bihar in noordoost India. Deze poppen werden vroeger getoond op een diorama dat werd gebruikt door rondreizende verhalenvertellers om volksverhalen te illustreren. Veel van deze poppen werden verspreid door handelaren in Kathmandu, halverwege en aan het einde van de twintigste eeuw, samen met andere tastbare aspecten van de Santal-cultuur, zoals dodro banam (muziekinstrumenten met strijkstok), fluiten en palkee-panelen (onderdeel van de huwelijksuitzet). Vertoont tekenen van gebruik en ouderdom. Wordt aangeboden met de standaard.
