A hammered gold mask features a central face with eighteen rays fanning outward. Each ray terminates in a stylized head with dot eyes and a fan-shaped crest. Large circular eyes and a prominent nose sit above an open mouth revealing rows of teeth. Zigzagging lines descend across the cheeks, while vertical lines extend from the chin. Four small circular holes pierce the gold surface near the center.
