A muted tan terracotta mask depicts a man's face with exaggerated features. Wavy hair is parted centrally above deep horizontal furrows on the forehead. Large, hollow circles form the eyes, and a prominent nose sits over a wide, gaping mouth. A thick mustache and heavily textured beard frame the lower face, ending in two symmetrical curls at the bottom center. The sculpture is centered against a flat, neutral gray background.
