Paladino

Handcrafted paperweight made of lava stone, sketched and hand-painted by a Sicilian artist.

The Paladins are the famous characters from the works of the puppets, Pupi from the Latin pupus meaning little child, or the armed puppets of the popular epic theatre which, probably originating from the Spain of Don Quixote, operated from the first half of the 19th century in Sicily, where it reached the height of its fame.
