He wears a Fez style hat with a red tuft at the end. He also retains his two original glass eyes.
Excellent condition (there is an old professional repair to one of his legs if you look closely, insignificant but shown for accuracy). Dating to c.1900 and measuring 3 1/4" wide x 6" at deepest points x 7 1/2" tall.
