"Flying Eagle" Oil Pastel set, 32 colours
Object/Artifact
A boxed set of thirty-two paper-wrapped oil pastel sticks in a two-piece cardboard tray-and-lid box, sold as a retail hang-pack inside a clear plastic shrink sleeve with a white cord loop. The printed cover is black, scattered with neon child's-doodle motifs (children, car, sailboat, house, flower, fish, bird) and dominated by "PASTEL" in large multicolor block capitals, with "OIL," the "Flying Eagle" name and eagle logo, the Chinese title, "32 COLOURS," and a small green panda mascot. The tray holds the full row of sticks; the lid interior is plain white. Set appears complete at thirty-two.
