Small string puppet of a peasant(?) woman character. She wears a long-sleeved white with blue striped shirt, a full-length paisley skirt, and a red shawl tied around her shoulders. She has light brown hair tied up in a bun on top of her head with a blue tie. She has red lips, pink cheeks, blue eyes, blue eyelids and a large upturned nose. She has painted white socks and light brown shoes. The control stick is attached to the head by a long metal rod, with strings extending from the control stick to limbs. The body is jointed at the elbows, knees, shoulders, and hips – with fabric upper arms.
