our traditions is prominent regarding its giving way to triggering manual labor and international cultural.

by interacting with each other in many cultures and also beliefs emerging from ancient times since the

early ages. Since there is no definite and written information about how and where the art of puppetry

was born, different and contradictory theories about this topic are in question as an intense speculation

source. The puppet has completed its own characteristic development in cultures from different times,

gained various figures and techniques and reached today’s artistic qualities. The art of Puppetry was
