A Pisky, Pixie, Elf or Gnome figure, made of leather, with a lock of human hair extending in a curve out of the top of his pointed hood. His eyes, mouth and eyebrows seem to be painted on his face, and like many Piskies he has a slightly fierce expression. He also has very long ears made out pf pink leather, positioned so that they seem to be sticking out of the side of his hood. He is wearing a fringed leather tunic and leather leggings. He has a piece of orange thread tied round his left arm.
