The marionette is a "Mexican man," still in the original box. The marionette appears to have a plastic head with short brown synthetic hair and a yellow hat. He is wearing a long sleeved white top and trousers, a red, blue, and light blue sarape over his proper right shoulder. He has red shoes. The black control strings that go to the wooden controller are visible.
The red box has a large clear plastic window to show the marionette. The front of the box, from the top to the bottom, reads:
