Kasper puppets are resilient and cheerful. This Kasper puppet has fine glass eyes and elegant clothing. The bright colours of his clothing and his mask-like facial features, which include a prominent chin and large nose, make him easy to see, even from a distance. The devil has feathers for hands, and his eyes can flash red in the light
