String Puppet3472/7

String puppet of a gamekeeper character. He wears a black and white gingham button-up coat with matching belt that has a large black velvet collar with matching cuffs and hem. The coat has four shiny black buttons with thin rectangular opalescent inserts through each one. The collar and belt are held in place by a round metal honeycomb-patterned pin. He wears a white long-sleeved shirt with eyelet collar and lace cuffs that show under the coat. He wears short blue pants that end at his calves with tall black boots. The pants are cinched with red ties. His face is bearded with a moustache, he has chin-length hair, and his eyes are yellow-brown. On his head he has a light grey felt hat with brown band. His hands, legs and face are carved with his right hand posed like it should be grasping something. Puppet is moved by a metal control stick with a wooden crossbeam, with strings attached to head, shoulders, hands and knees.
