Description
Venice, carnival night. Masks glitter beneath the lanterns of the Piazza San Marco, gondolas slip through the dark canals and, on the steps of an old palazzo, a harlequin in a diamond-patterned suit sits strumming his mandolin. He sings of foolish love and lost hats and a cat who once stole his supper. The crowd tosses coins. A masked lady drops a rose. He catches it in his teeth without missing a single note, and the whole square roars with laughter.
This lively character is perfect for a theater lover, a musician, a collector of clowns and jesters or anyone who adores the spirit of commedia dell’arte. Give it to celebrate an opening night, a recital or a birthday for someone who loves to make people laugh. It brightens a music room, a bookcase or a desk where a little mischief is always welcome.

Hide a guitar pick or a ticket stub from a favorite show inside, and the jester becomes keeper of a musical memory. Every collection needs one entertainer, and this fellow seems more than happy to take center stage on any shelf he is given. Applause is optional, but almost certain.
