Leather puppets

Leather puppets are crafted from hides or processed leather, shaped and decorated to represent characters in traditional puppet shows. These puppets are manipulated by puppeteers behind screens or scenes, often with rods or strings, to animate stories, myths, or cultural tales. The use of leather allows for detailed designs and durability, making them prominent in various cultural performances around the world. They serve not only as entertainment but also as a means of storytelling, preserving heritage, and showcasing artisanship through intricate craftsmanship.
