clown nose
Comedian's facial accessory
A clown nose is the round red rubber ball worn over the nose by clowns and other performers.
It attaches by pressure or elastic and has become the most recognizable symbol of clownhood: She put on a clown nose for the charity event.
Figuratively, something described as a clown nose suggests absurdity or buffoonery.
