Semar
Semar is a Javanese wise fool and divine clown. One of the punakwan (comic characters) in a wayang play. Semar’s appearance is rather grotesque; he has a large face and his mouth contains only a single tooth. On his head, he wears a black cap. Sometimes, one of his fingers is shaped like a phallus. Large breasts grow on his bare upper body. His enormous belly is also uncovered. He has an impressive behind, which produces farts continuously.
