A series of 3 parallel, incised striations wrap vertically around the periphery of the face, while desiccated earth and a petite wooden spike pointed outwards at the top of the head. The edge of the vizard is lined with annular drill holes allowing it to be strapped to the headdress or costume of the wearer.
