I received this over 40 years ago and have kept it for many years. It shows signs of wear, including dirt, small scratches, discoloration, and a deteriorated string. The material is unknown (it's soft, so it feels like soft vinyl). I cleaned it with alcohol. The string is frayed but seems like it can still be used to hang it. It's a nostalgic Kero-chan finger puppet from the past. Would be great for a collection! External dimensions (excluding string): approximately 4.5 x 3 cm I will ship it in a plastic bag, bubble wrap, and an envelope via Yu-packet Post Mini. Please read my profile to prevent any issues. I used to have one indoor dog. Thank you for looking! Antique goods
