Hand-carved from wood, the mask itself features a face with a rectangular form and deep, hollowed out channels for the eyes. A sharply acute angle in the center of the face acts as the nose. There is no mouth. Two short, projecting rectangles near the top of the head form ears. The edges of the mask are perforated, allowing it to be worn.
