"On foot and by rod" puppet
Ces marionnettes ont une base (ou pied), dans laquelle une tige est insérée. Celle-ci permet de déplacer les figures en suivant les fentes, ou glissières, ménagées dans le plancher de scène. Il s'agit donc d'une technique de manipulation dite « inférieure » ou « par le bas ».
