A New Tudor Themed Puppet:
The Headless Ghost
The Headless Ghost
of Queen Anne Boleyn
This Pelham Puppet has been fully redressed as the headless ghost of the tragic second wife to King Henry VIII - Queen Anne Boleyn.
Anne was unjustly executed - by the sword - for adultery and high treason after only three years of being queen. Her ghost is said to haunt the Tower of London, Blickling Hall and Hampton Court Palace.
The gown and French hood are cut from a white velvet - with silver braided and metallic trim, studded with imitation pearls and her signature initial 'B' pendant. Her full underskirt and undersleeves are of a gold patterned brocade fabric and her turned back sleeves are lined with taffeta. The face has been fully repainted to represent the Queen and her hair has been specifically styled from new material. She rests her severed head within the crook of her arm.
She is strung using traditional Pelham colours on a small sized vintage Pelham controller.
