A charming vintage Italian folk art jointed wooden Pinocchio marionette figure. This classic, oversized decorative piece is skillfully turned and constructed from solid wood, capturing the iconic look of Carlo Collodi's beloved character. The figure features multiple points of articulation, including a rotating neck, pin-jointed shoulders, and jointed hips, allowing for dynamic posing options.

The piece features an intentionally weathered, hand-painted finish with a green painted torso, red shorts, a matching red pointed alpine hat, and black painted shoes. The expressive face is detailed with painted side-glancing eyes, a faint smile, and his signature protruding wooden nose. This item makes for a fantastic nostalgic display piece or collector's item for enthusiasts of vintage European toys and folk art.
