TYPE LL LULABELLE
Type LL Lulabelle dating to 1950's. She has some condition issues.
The puppet should be strung on coloured strings on the small control with buffers, but she is strung on a handmade control with black string.
She has both maracas but one is repainted, they are not damaged otherwise.
One long bamboo leg (right) has clear tape around the lower part to hold it together I assume, it's old tape. She has brass rings around her ankles which are aged.
The fur stole is good just a little dusty etc.
She has synthetic fur hair which looks as if it has been cut and is damaged, I have lightened an image to view more easily.
The red full feathers must be replacements judging by the rest of the condition of the puppet! These are stapled on to the head.
The grass raffia skirt is good, just a little aged.
The face paint is quitegood with rubber lips.
The original box is shelf worn.
