The image shows a full-body portrait of a puppet with an elaborate design. The puppet is upright, facing forward. It has an exaggerated facial appearance with a large red mouth, prominent nose, and wide eyes surrounded by pinkish skin tones. The puppet has curly textured hair and wears a bright yellow garment with intricate lace detailing, layered over a green blouse-like piece. The sleeves have red accents at the cuffs, and the puppet wears a dark flowing skirt. There are no visible accessories or objects, and the background is a plain light beige color.
