The body is clad in a dark gray coat, accented with silver embellishments on the buttons and pockets, extending to the knees. Beneath it, a red jacket peeks through, symbolizing warmth and tradition. In his right hand, he holds a long staff topped with a yellow flame, representing the lamplighter’s light, while his left hand carries a wooden lantern adorned with a small, yellow candle stub and an X-shaped lattice.
