Male doll wearing brown wool pants with gold and green panels at back, a heavy dark blue wool sweater, a rectangular multicoloured textile in shades of red and green at the shoulders, and a light coloured bandana tied around his neck. His hat fits close to the head, with the brim flipped up in front to show a zigzag ribbon decoration and small pompoms. At crown is a tuft of metallic thread atop further ribbon and flat pompom decorations. Long decorative flaps trail down his back to the waist, brightly embroidered with figures, diamond shapes, and sequins stars, on a light cream background. A wide leather belt or pouch decorated with studs is buckled around the waist. He holds a wooden drumstick in his right hand. His shoes are small wood and leather sandals. His face is painted, showing large brown eyes, rosy cheeks, a red mouth and a dark moustache.
