These 2" red foam clown noses are an absolute necessity for any clown costume! A jester (or fool) is a specific type of clown mostly associated with the Middle Ages. Jesters typically wore brightly colored clothing in a motley pattern. Their hats, sometimes called the "cap' n 'bells", "cockscomb", or "Schellenmütze" in German were especially distinctive; made of cloth, they were floppy with three points (liliripes) each of which had a jingle bell at the end.
