Crocodile candle snuffer produced by Royal Worcester of Worcester, England, in a 2001 limited edition of 600. This crocodile is from the puppet show Punch and Judy. Punch and Judy is a traditional puppet show featuring Mr. Punch and his wife Judy. The performance consists of a sequence of short scenes, each depicting an interaction between two characters, most typically the anarchic Mr. Punch and one other character who usually falls victim to the intentional violence of Punch's slapstick. The crocodile's role is to avenge the deaths of everyone Punch has killed. He is Punch's comeuppance for his evil ways. Punch is generally eaten, or at least bitten by the crocodile. Whether Punch survives the encounter is the prerogative of the puppeteer.
