"Another wonderful item from this very talented seller. I will treasure this puppet along with the others I have purchased. I can't praise the handiwork & craftsmanship highly enough, it really is of the top most standard. In time these marionettes will become family heirlooms & passed on down the family line, along with the others I intend to buy."
