An extraordinary antique marionette of Hercules

With its thick beard, cloth shoes and leather belt, this Hercules marionette has a truly unique raw look. His dark eyes radiate kindness and his gaze will win your heart. All materials used to make this marionette are original and very high quality.

Vojtěch Zach

Vojtěch carved marionettes and played puppet theater since his childhood, later he worked in woodcarving professionally. Many marionette theaters all over Bohemia played with his marionettes. His marionettes are characterized by a specific expression that expresses not only the character itself, but also their emotional mood. They are known for their slender heads with detailed face carvings. They can have a stubborn expression due to wrinkled eyebrows and numerous sharp wrinkles. The whole body is perfectly anatomically hand-carved to a professional standard. This Hercules comes from the private collection of Rudolf Helebrant.
