Summary
A hexagonal handmade paper kite on which is painted a Chinese or Japanese face. The kite is supported by two narrow wooden slats and string which runs around the six edges and is held in place by glued down flaps. There are four lengths of string tied to the front side of the wooden slats. There is a piece of string tied to the bottom of the hexagon, presumably for the tail.
