Keywords: Indian puppet, Kathputli, Rajasthani puppet, vintage marionette, folk art decor, India wall decor.Every item is personally sourced through extensive research across estate sales, private sellers, and various vintage marketplaces. I specialize in identifying underrecognized vintage pieces with unusual age, design, provenance, or collectible value. Occasionally, I find an item worthy of the collection for its unique characteristics, such as deadstock, out-of-production, or discontinued status. Each item is individually selected and curated for Bygones by Bethany.
