Dancing Mankad Puppets jacket handwoven textilesThe monkeys awaken the forest as they take on every branch and sway from tree to tree. To imitate their delightful movement, these puppets are crafted using the traditional palm leaf puppetry mechanism, where they come alive when the stick is held and twisted between the palms. The smallest scraps of textile rag papers have been repurposed to handcraft these unique toys that can also serve as bookmarks, table accessories, or playtime companions.
