The square-shaped towel features a central motif depicting Sally, recognizable by her pink outfit, surrounded by several secondary characters, a purple cat, as well as a fairy-tale castle and a carriage, typical visual elements of the series' universe. The decor is enhanced with floral motifs, stars, and stylized snowflakes, which frame the main scene on a white background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe border of the towel is outlined by a vivid red trim that highlights the central design. The motifs feature bold colors: pink, yellow, purple, blue, green, and orange, faithful to the graphic palette of 1970s Japanese animated productions. Two yellow fleurs-de-lis are visible in the bottom corners, adding an extra decorative touch. The drawing style, thick outlines, and overall aesthetic are characteristic of vintage merchandise from that decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the bottom left, a printed inscription reads \"D. 1973 COTTON 100%\", confirming the textile nature of the object and suggesting a manufacturing date from the 70s. Japanese inscriptions and the red logo of the series are also visible, typical of official licensed products from that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe towel shows noticeable creases, indicating prolonged storage, but the print remains vibrant and without apparent fading on the visible side. No snags, stains, or tears are observable on this part. The object is photographed flat, on a round table with a light patina, which allows for appreciating the entire motif and the print quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of towel was commonly used in Japan as a handkerchief, bento cloth, or children's stationery accessory. The original illustration and overall condition make it a decorative textile sought after by fans of vintage Japanese animation and old merchandise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
