Somehow I like puppets and masks very much. Every time I travel to a new country I usually explore if they have any tradition of masks or puppets. One of my favorites are the Indonesian WAYANG puppets. You can see my posts about them at different places:
Or here you can see the masks I collected from different countries from which I’ve traveled all over the world. And now I’d like to share with you these Hungarian puppets with traditional clothings. And if you are still not fed up with the many links yet;) you can see once and for all by one single link to the close ups from the collection I captured yesterday.

The dolls are beautiful but I always find them a little creepy and scary!
superbe collection de poupées. elles sont superbes, ma mere (qui fait collection) serait jalouse ;o))
superb collection of headstocks. they are superb, my mother (who makes collection) would be jealous; O))
ya i agree with mountainboy. they are beautiful, but when i get goosebumps when i imagine them coming alive and trying to talk to me. hahaha.. they look so real…
your living room must look exotic with all those collection ;)
…psst, i usuall fell asleep during wayang kulit, but the craft itself is Gorgeous !

I have to tell you, the groom with the black h at looks like a girl with a mustache.
