Description

String puppet of a water spirit character. He wears a dark brown button-up coat with subtle red and black vertical stripes and a thin red ribbon belt. The coat has three dark brown buttons - one at the front closure and one on each sleeve cuff. The coat has two pockets on the hips and one on the chest. There are green, red and yellow ribbons pinned to the chest. The belt is held in place by two different toned round metal pins. Under the coat he wears a red shirt with a red tie that is held in place by a honeycomb-patterned metal pin. He wears short brown-grey tweed-like pants that end at his calves. The pants have red embroidery tape around each cuff. He has a green beard with a long, green parted moustache, and he has green chin-length hair and green eyebrows. His eyes, cheeks and lower lip are red and his upper lip is silver. The jaw is hinged and movable. His neck, arms, and legs are all green, and his feet are webbed with red claws. His hands, legs and face are carved with his right hand posed like it should be grasping something. Puppet is moved by a metal control rod with a wooden crossbeam, with strings attached to head, shoulders, hands and knees.
