Carved wooden marionette in the form of a white-faced drunken stilt-walking clown, a speciality act. He is wearing a blue jacket and knickerbocker suit (possibly silk) trimmed with white silk strips of braid, the knickerbockers ruched. The jacket has metal buttons centre front and back, and on the cuffs, which are trimmed with cream lace. He has dark green knitted stockings, and carved shoes, painted black. His feet and the sides of his calves are attached to white stilts, which are padded on the ends to reduce slippage. He holds a beer bottle in his right hand. There are small pads on the bottom of the stilts to stop slippage.
He has hair carved into two points at the sides and one at the back; a bald pate, and a white painted face and head, decorated with clown's stylised make-up of a large red diamond on each cheek. He has an articulated mouth, and his eyes have tops of hat pins for pupils, and arched painted black eyebrows.
There is a hole through the head for a string, which is not connected, and a staple in the upper lip for control of the bottle string. There is a string to the backside for bowing. There is no padding in the central section of the body, and very light padding in the rest of the body, and his legs are attached to the body section by a piece of rexine, tacked front and back, under which are remnants of an older cloth joint.
He is worked by two doweling control bars, possibly replacements for the originals. Bar one controls the knees for walking. Bar two has seven notches (three without strings attached); the head is controlled by two strings (from the notches third left and right); there is a bowing string (to waist) from the centre; a pull through bottle string, left of centre (through screw eye), and the left hand is controlled from the extreme left notch.
