Bottom edge holds ribbon joining to 2.25" double-sided cello. As issued, but assembled backwards, front shows unhappy face with Band-Aid patch on cheek and title "Been To The Fair." Opposite side with tinted color happy face says "Going To The Fair." Ribbon above lower cello has tiny near invisible repair to stabilize tiny fabric split.
