630. Owl puppet, ball and flagpole from Alice in Wonderland. (Lou Bunin Productions, 1949) The Owl is part of the Caucus and Jury as well as the Circus scenes. Constructed of Bunin's own rubberized foam compound for the flexible skin over a special wrapped wire armature. This skin features a harder compound which may have conformed to the puppet's use for a static or low-action shot. The skin is sculpted with a feather-like texture, and the entire puppet is hand-painted and impressively detailed. Measures 8 in. tall. Also includes a striped wooden ball measuring 3 ¼ in. diameter and a penant flag and pole from the Circus scenes. Puppet exhibits only minor cracking and wear; otherwise, remarkable condition for its age.
