Carved wooden mask with hinged/moveable jaw. The jaw piece is prow-shaped, coming to a blunt point at the mouth, pointed at the chin. It is connected to the upper face by thick string tied through each piece. The nose is small with a sharp bridge. Eye holes are wide and narrow, topped with a heavy brow. The carved hair is prominent, with a tall lined protuberance at the centre. Several holes pierce the wood around the outside of the mask. The interior of the mask is roughly carved.
