Jointed marionette puppet of wood, metal, plaster and cloth with wood and metal control and multicoloured strings.

The puppet itself has a round head, large nose and dowel stick neck. It is painted pink with slanting green eyes highlighted with black and white, black stroke eyebrows, face lines and spots and an open mouth with moving lower jaw painted red with white teeth. Inside the mouth is pink and there is a red felt tonge. The hair is a white fleece (with leather) wig. The torso is made of two part, upper/chest and lower/hips. The legs and arms are each made of two pieces of dowel (arms painted pink and legs white); the legs are thicker than the arms. The hands are made of moulded pink plastic, large and open, and the feet of rounded blocks of wood painted black. The head, body and arms are joined by steel eyelet screws, while the legs are jointed at the hips, knees and ankles by steel plates, nailed into each part.

The strings are knotted to various parts of the body - two black ones to the head by steel eyelets painted pink on either side; two reds ones, to the hands; two blue ones just above the knees, two green ones to the shoulders and a yellow one to the back of the body. The strings are tied to the wooden control, two bars of wood linked together by a large metal clip which will allow the bars to twist out to form a '+'. The red ones are tied to an eyelet covered with a red plastic dome, the blue ones to two eyelets covered with a blue plastic dome, the greens ones to a green plastic dome and the yellow likewise attached to an eyelet covered by a yellow plastic dome. At the top of the bars is a large black metal hook which can be used to hang the puppet up.

The puppet is dressed as a witch in a black cotton dress, red and white spotted apron and black felt hat, nailed to head. Attached via the strings to the hands is a wood and straw broom.
