A cartonnage and wood mask features a golden-yellow face with large, black-outlined eyes inlaid with stone. Thick, horizontal black lines form the eyebrows above a faint smile. A mottled green and brown head covering wraps around the crown, ending in a jagged edge on the right. A rectangular green beard attachment extends from the chin. The mask sits on a black stand against a dark background.
