mijn wunderkammer (random worldy finds encountered whilst sorting) 2 - kathputli



kathputli or rajasthani dolls
are marionettes that have been around for at least 1500 years
made of wood
and colourful cloth
by the nomadic bhat community
and were used in puppet shows for Rajasthan’s royal and aristocratic families 
to tell the old stories of the rajasthani tribal people, including their way of life, customs, and beliefs.
(and know what you did behind the bike sheds you pervert)
