He wears a long-sleeved white with grey patterned shirt with a black and brown speckled vest over top. He wears a red paisley scarf tied around his neck with a long black velvet cape over top. He wears long black pants with a large plaid patch and brown stitching over tall slouchy brown boots. In his right hand he holds a carved and painted black pistol with a metal trigger and hammer spur. Around his waist he wears a belt with a holster on his left hip and brown pouch (carved of wood). Tucked into the belt is a long wooden stake. In his right hand he holds a gun. He has a red-brown moustache, beard and ear-length hair. His face is red, with hazel eyes and a hooked red nose. His hands, legs and face are carved. Puppet is moved by a metal control rod with a wooden crossbeam, with strings attached to head, shoulders, hands and knees.
