Sekwin\, Vintage Burmese Yok-Thei Shadow Box Puppet
24.5" High x 21" Wide x 4.5" Deep
Sekwin, sequin, is a Burmese Yok-Thei Puppet, wearing garments rich in sequin detail, ample couched metallic thread, large thick red, silver, green foil-backed glass roundels & gold leaf on the face & body. The garment is a 19cy court costume. He is famed in a shadow box with a black velvet background & gold leaf paint on all insides of the shadow box.  Such a lovely way to display Sekwin. This being an older piece, there are a few minor dings on the gold leaf on the frame.
