DescriptionA small puppet theater built upon a hollow, wooden box that acts as its stage. Its sides are painted red while the top is covered with wood finish paper. There are eight holes cut into the stage's top, from front to back and in pairs. A wooden archway painted a dull yellow is inserted into the first two holes. A gold pillar is carved into either side with a stringed instrument decorating its top, as well as two decorative metal designs painted gold. A rolled curtain hangs on the back side of the archway, with a small lightbulb just under on the right side. The next two pairs of holes house pieces of scenery: one depicts suits of armor and the other shows stone castle walls. The two holes at the back of the stage support a long piece of scenery that forms the backdrop. On one side is the throne room of a castle while the other is a village with a large cross amidst the houses. A white, double archway stretches over the first four pieces of scenery, just behind the front archway, as a means for holding multiple puppets at once. The back of the box opens for storage inside.On View
