Barefoot Afro-descendant man, with blue pants and over his white shirt he has a gray poncho with vertical lines. He also has a red scarf tied around his head and a short, rounded white hat. In his left hand he has a cane and in his right, an elongated wooden stick that supports on his shoulders, from which candles hang in groups.In the evenings in the city, this character advertised the sale of tallow candles, which he hung from a long stick resting on his shoulders.
