With a sturdy rod extending up through the body and into the head, the Czech rod marionettes are quite similar to Sicilian marionettes, but are said to be a lot more complex as they have extra strings for the arms and legs. There are also Czech marionettes that don't have a central rod, which are the most difficult to manipulate (above photo). They are hand carved, usually using lime wood.National Marionette Theater in Prague
Many marionette stores, such as this one, are scattered throughout the city.
This guy sure makes it look easy to manipulate a marionette! And he's only using one hand!!
