Sumptuously dressed in colorful, gold-trimmed satin, these classic characters take their inspiration from the traditions of the Medieval jester and Mardi-Gras clown, but with a friendly, childish, approachable aspect that is warm and appealing. Hardwood heads are turned and painted by hand. It's an exciting wooden action toy that is sure to delight children and adults alike. ---The optional hardwood Display-stand shown in the additional photo is made to hold the marionette and make it an impressive decorative accessory when not in use. The Display-stands are sold here as a separate product.
