string puppets
Dangling theatrical dolls
String puppets are figures manipulated from above by strings or wires attached to their limbs and head, controlled by a wooden crossbar called a control or paddle.
The puppeteer works from above, often on a bridge or behind a curtain, making the figure walk, gesture, or dance.
Also called marionettes.
The string puppets performed a miniature ballet.
