A puppet created by Jíří Trnka for a fairy tale based on a design by Hans Christian Andersen - The Emperor's Nightingale. He represents one of the servants at the imperial court. The film won the Golden Leopard at the Locarno International Film Festival. The stop-motion animation of the film places high demands on the quality and mobility of the puppets, which Jiří Trnka elaborated to the smallest detail.
