The eldest Oyster watches the Walrus without speaking, winking one eye and shaking its heavy head. Those small gestures convey its reluctance to leave the oyster-bed, making it a silent witness whose judgment is clear without a word.
Description
The eldest Oyster is an elderly oyster distinguished by its heavy head. It can wink one eye and shake its head, giving its otherwise unspecified appearance a quietly expressive quality. The text does not describe its shell color, surface, or any clothing or adornment. He is an oyster with a broad, heavy head that gives his small figure a weighty, elderly look. His face is expressive enough to wink one eye, while his head tilts in a firm, deliberate shake. No clothing or other adornments are described, leaving his grave, stubborn expression as his chief distinguishing feature.
