This is the early version of Big Ears, wooden ball head. He has a wonderful sheepskin beard and hair. This must be the best condition Big Ears puppet I have ever seen, he even has his felt ears intact! The felt hat is still very soft and has no damage. The whole costume is excellent. He retains felt bow on his shoes. The face paint is also very good with a single tiny paint fleck off one eye. Box is shelf worn with splits as seen but is original to the puppet.
