A knight is a warrior of aristocratic origin who fights on horseback with a sword. Every knight is a nobleman, but not every nobleman is a knight, because to become a knight you need to prove bravery and loyalty. In fairy tales, anyone can become a knight and earn the hand of a princess if he defeats an evil dragon.
In the case of the sale of this puppet, we dedicate half of the amount collected to the development of PUP - Puppet University Prague
Crafted around 1920 by Bohumil Bek, features a noble and heroic character with intricate hand-carved wooden detailing.

The craftsmanship showcases Bek's skill, famous for his work on religious statues and charming puppets. This marionette is ideal for any collector of unique, vintage Czech marionettes.
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, youll 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. Cant recommend enough; adore!
