<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 379347, member: 55&quot;]The loop is traditionally for hanging the puppet inside the puppet-booth; and also facilitates slipping one&#039;s hand into the puppet.&nbsp; As one Punch and Judy puppet maker mentions, &quot;all come dressed as standard, with the ring on the bottom of the puppet so they can be hung from a peg to make putting them onto your hand easier.&quot;</p><p>The presence of the hanging-loop may well imply that this was made for actual use in a Punch-and-Judy show, rather than just as a toy.</p><p>From <a href="https://wepa.unima.org/en/glove-puppet/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://wepa.unima.org/en/glove-puppet/" rel="nofollow">https://wepa.unima.org/en/glove-puppet/</a> :</p><p>&quot;At the base... there is often a ring which allows the puppet to be hung upside-down backstage in a way that the performer can easily plunge the hand in and produce the figure almost instantaneously on the stage. This usually implies a row of hooks below the stage...&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
