Its compact, wearable construction makes it ideal for intimate puppet shows or as a striking display piece on a shelf or in a glass cabinet.

Collectors will value the puppet for its mid-century provenance, hand-painted detailing, and overall great condition. Use it as a theatrical prop, a focal point in a vintage toy collection, or a conversation-starting decorative accent in a nostalgic or theatrical interior scheme. Please note that exact dimensions are not specified; handle with care due to the paper mâché components and vintage textiles.
