As a geganta it would be an anthropomorphic effigy constructed to be carried or worn during processions, but specific details such as height, costume, facial features, or materials for the Geganta Sagrerina are not documented in the source.
No supernatural powers or behaviors are reported. Its functions are performative and civic: the geganta is used in public processions and festivals and is carried or animated by people as part of communal ritual and celebration.
