The jaw of the skull could be made to move, with the aid of rods. Hando's informant, Gus Sergeant of Bulmoor, reported that the Mari Lwyd had not been seen in the town for at least 20 years, but he was still able to describe it: </p> <blockquote><p>We filled the eye-holes with wadding and '<a href="/wiki/Marble_(toy)" title="Marble (toy)">pop alleys</a>' and fixed great ears made of wadding stiffened with cardboard; then we stuck rosettes on the sides of the skull and strung long coloured ribbons as reins.</p></blockquote> <p>One man acted as leader of the Mari, holding the ribbons, and then came the Mari itself draped in a white sheet. It was followed by three singers, who sang in <a href="/wiki/Welsh_language" title="Welsh language">Welsh</a> although "they didn't understand the words". On occasion, the procession of the Mari Lwyd would start as far north as <a href="/wiki/Newbridge-on-Usk" title="Newbridge-on-Usk">Newbridge-on-Usk</a> and proceed through the town, ending as far south as <a href="/wiki/Goldcliff" title="Goldcliff">Goldcliff</a>. The party would be invited into houses along the way and given "money and home-made cakes and gallons of beer". Another of Hando's informants provides a description, dated 1841, of the Yuletide tradition: </p> <blockquote><p>The custom of chaunting at their neighbours' doors on the <a href="/wiki/Twelfth_Night_(holiday)" title="Twelfth Night (holiday)">Twelfth Night</a> ... on which occasion they are fantastically dressed with ribbons of various colours. One of the party carries a horse's head decorated in the same manner.
