Wooden puppet: head of a bearded old man
Marionette puppet: carved wooden puppets on strings: lacquered faces, cloth costumes, tow hair.
The carved head and shoulders of an old man fill most of the frame: a lacquered face, painted brows, a grey beard and the collar of a woollen coat. The background is plain grey and blurred. Strings come down to the shoulders.
