Cool Old Asian marionette

Just saw this at an antique shop. Wondering what you guys thinks it might be worth. Or how old it is? It has a lot of great detail , like glass eyes and is made out of silk so somebody put some work into it.

I have a feeling it is important. The last picture is the feet.

 

What!!!? What is it then?

 

It even has a real mustache.

 

The hand has full movement, even through the fingers and mouth. Really cool and ornate. Lots of sequence. Fancy dude.

 

Sequent not sequence. Dah.

 

;(

 

Its a whatchamathing.

 

Sequins...........

 

Lucy, it just isn't your day.

It is a Burmese marionette. Not important, just very nice folk art.

 

This is how they look in a show:
