A reddish-brown wood mask features a high, rounded forehead and a brow carved with deep, wavy ridges. Two circular, metallic golden eyes with dark pupils look forward. Below a wide nose with flared nostrils, the mouth is pressed into a wide, downward curve. Small ears project from the sides. The lacquered surface is worn, revealing dark brown and tan patches. Deep carved grooves contour the puffed cheeks and square jaw.
