Delicate incisions create geometric patterning of the coiffure. Two stylized animal ears accentuate the face, showing that the mask represents a spirit. The beard is rendered simply, with white kaolin clay defining its adjoining triangles.. At the back rim of the mask, incised holes for attachment of costume elements are worn smooth from use.
