DescriptionHand puppet of a duck named "Lillian Duck." It is composed of a cloth body and a papier-mâché head painted (probably using watercolor) white with an orange bill and gray eyes surrounded by an orange and a gray circle. The body, two wings, and the sleeve that conceal the puppeteer's arm and wrist are made of a gray cotton fabric. The legs and feet are made of orange wool felt. She is wearing a pink cotton apron patterned with white dots and trimmed in light blue. The apron is embroidered with a light blue duck on the bottom left using cross-stitch. Tied around her head is a gray/blue synthetic kerchief.
