Little Carved Face Fingerpuppet penguin container that facilitates getting the plugWith a carved handle on the back to fit over one finger, one can wear this guy around, and certainly he's got enough personality to be the protagonist in a finger puppet drama! Crusty black and red paint for the features with varnish over top I believe including parted hair and wonderful big ears! 2 3 4" t x 1 7 8" w x 1 1 2" d and in very good condition, definitely with some age.
