Summary
Red Chinese lantern, with diagrams and instructions in Chinese. Three large rings, three discs with purple tassels, three triangle shapes, two wire handles, six straight lengths of wood, and nine curved lengths of wood. There appears to be enough equipment to make three lanterns, but no actual paper globes for any of them. There are 12 items of paperwork. These seem to be two complete sets of a colour picture page, a black and white page of pictures and writing, a colour page of pictures and writing, a small page just of writing, and a bag, with a third set of two of these pages (the colour picture page and the small writing page).
