353B Clown on Stilts
This model represents a clown standing on two high stilts. He is wearing black shoes, red trousers and a white shirt with a black bow tie covered by a light blue jacket. This clown is blond with expressive black eyes and a smiling mouth. His face is full of concentration because he is balancing a green hat on his left hand. This is a description for just one clown; the others have the same physiognomy, but different colour schemes.
