The table puppet or table figure is played from behind on a stage about the height of the table. It can be moved by rods from the outside or by internal guides. Complicated techniques such as strings for legs, movable hands, mouth and eyes are represented in this type of doll , as are simply built figures. The table figure is also extremely variable in size, it can measure a few centimeters or take up the entire table stage.
