It is a Chineese puppet with a very beautiful face made from carved bamboo under painted porcelain. How do I go about researching it? I've spent hours searching the internet with no avail.
actually antique chinese decors or relics do not really use bamboo as their medium, chinese usually use porcelain jade, bronze, gold and thing like that, somewhat that it would stand for years, bamboo in chinese are usually used by the commoners as chopstick, but if it is used as a medium it would be questionable.
It might not be chinese who would used puppets made up of bamboo, they would rather use silk cloths and tin in making puppets,usually dragans for dragon dance.
you might having a puppet from thailand. be careful with some of those puppets especially antique ones, they are very mysterious specifically those use during the days of their old rituals, some of them are death mask usually used for sacrifice.
