On his head he wears a fur hat with dark purple and red felt floral decorations on the side. He wears a long off-white coat with ribbed texture, notched lapel and collar, faux hip pockets and four large black buttons. Underneath he wears gold pants that end below the knee with red ties on the sides. He has tall carved boots painted black. The control stick is attached to his head by a long metal rod, with strings extending from the control stick to limbs. The body is jointed at the elbows, knees, shoulders, and hips – with fabric upper arms.
