Small string puppet of a prince or king character. He wears matching dark blue tunic and pants. The tunic has a metal gold belt and a large bright blue plastic(?) jewel decoration adhered to a shield-shaped textile on his chest. The tunic and pants are hemmed with bronze embroidery ribbon. He wears a long red cape with off-white fur collar. He has painted light grey-blue socks and brown shoes. He has pink lips, blue eyes, and reddish-brown ear-length hair, moustache and beard. On top of his head is a red and blue and yellow crown. His hands, legs and face are carved. The control stick is attached to the head by a long metal rod, with strings extending from the control stick to limbs.
