Source catalog description
This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.
A color photographic portrait of an unidentified figure in a Ronald McDonald inspired ensemble. The figure stands in center frame, against a dark grey background. They wear a long, bright red wig and their face is painted in white, red and black clown make-up with exaggerated features. They wear yellow colored contacts that have an orange ring around the exterior. They are dressed in a red, yellow and white leather-like harness. The bodice has vertical red and white stripes with a yellow "M" in the center, yellow straps at the waist and a length of gold chain looped at the bottom center. Long white sleeves are attached via yellow straps at the shoulder and wide red straps connected via O-rings. The sleeves extend past the figure's hands, obscuring them. The bottom is composed of yellow leather-like fabric with exaggerated points at the hips. There are red splatters across the garment.
