Moonstruck is a 1946 photographic by Ronald George Fennah, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This photo shows a carved wooden figure standing on a small base. The taller figure is dressed in loose robes and a tall hat, holding a lantern and a bag.

A sepia-toned photograph depicts a sculpture of an Asian figure holding a small hand drum, with a child seated at the figure's knees. The photograph is mounted. The sculpture was created by Ronald George Fennah in 1946.
