A puppet from the "chodir hayal" puppet theater. The name "Issa-Auliye" likely refers to Mullah Issa-Auliye, who was not only a dignitary of Khudoyar Khan but also one of the organizers of the uprising against him in 1875, and in 1876 called for a ghazzavat against the Russians, which was unsuccessful.
