Summary
Eleven wooden pegs, each of which is fixed into a small plywood shape upon which is painted a facial feature or heart. There are two brown eyes, two semi circular blue eyes, two triangular blue eyes, one beard, one moustache, one laughing mouth and two hearts. The object into which these pegs fit is not present. The pegs and the missing base object presumably formed a game. Total number of items is 11.
