LS+Puppet+Description

This puppet is decorated with several bright colors, covering nearly the entire spectrum. Most striking is the gold-colored skin, which stands in contrast to the rest of the colors. It wears an elaborate costume with a large headdress, and possesses four arms instead of just two. In addition, it’s a much smaller puppet than the others we were presented with, and does not have any moveable joints, simply a two-sided puppet on one stick. The elaborate costume and multiple arms leads me to believe it may be a god or goddess character, and the lack of joints indicates that more than likely it is a minor character, or perhaps one with more spoken lines than action. Also of note is a strange, demon-like head beneath the character’s legs, and a downcast, tortured expression on the puppet’s face. Perhaps this is a character who is being accosted by something, either a living thing or its own personal “demons”?
