String puppet of a jester character. He wears matching red shirt and pants, both with silver fringe. The pants end at his calves with white painted stocking beneath. He wears a red two-pointed cap with a bell at the end of each point. There are also bells at the end of each sleeve and pant leg. He wears red shoes on his feet. He has carved black hair, a thin black moustache and black goatee. His eyes are large and grey, he has an upturned nose and big cheeks. The jaw is hinged and movable. His hands, legs and face are carved with his right hand posed like it should be grasping something. Puppet is moved by a wooden control stick with three crossbeams, with strings attached to head, shoulders, hands and knees.
