Antique Devil marionette in perfect condition

This beautiful devil is a very original marionette. Not only does he have a detailed face, he also has carved teeth and a movable jaw. Instead of one leg, he has a hoof and he is wearing a beautiful coat with fur around his neck. His leg is strewn with hair and he also has an interesting haircut carved from wood.

Štěpán Zálešák

Štěpán Zálešák (1874] - 1945) was a Czech sculptor and carver. He specialized mainly in sacred art, he also devoted himself to restoration work. His works adorn many Czech churches (St. Vitus Cathedral). In 1898–1912 he worked in his own studio in Prague, most of his marionettes come from this period. In 1912 he began teaching carving and sculpture at the School of Applied Arts.

My marionette-making workshop was the most fun I had during my visit to Prague! Everyone at Czech Marionettes was incredibly welcoming and encouraging. Lucy helped me to put the puppet together while another artist helped me to mix the paint. I love how it turned out! I wanted to do something different yet quintessentially Czech while I was here and this was the perfect choice! If you like arts and crafts and friendly people, you’ll enjoy this workshop. Sadly marionette theater performances are disappearing from Prague. But the talented people who carry on the traditions and artistic crafts are still here and they will gladly introduce you to this wonderful tradition.

Amazing! This little fellow is crafted with skill, love, and whimsy. I have several of the marionettes and each and everyone is a work of art. Can’t recommend enough; adore!
