Standing Koyemshi wears his classic mask made of engobe-painted cloth with earth-filled spheres. These spheres are supposed to contain seeds or soil collected from the footsteps of important people. The eyes are bulging and the prominent mouth is curious. He is dressed in a black loincloth and cape, probably brought back from ancient times. Koyemshi are particularly mischievous clowns, unconcerned with propriety and good manners.
