Noble Man 




A middle-aged male puppet usually from a noble family. The beard set is removable and can be changed according to the play. For example, a black beard indicates that the character is in his 40s to 50s, whereas a white beard indicates an elderly man in his 70s and above. The headgear is embroidered with the longevity (shou) motif, which is an auspicious symbol of the Chinese who wish to enjoy good health and longevity.
