The face of the wolf has black edging with red nostrils and teeth. The eyes are black with white edging on a green ovoid-like shape background. One ear is attached to the top of the head and is decorated with an ovoid and split U shapes (part a). The inside of the mask is hollow with black painted thunderbird(?) with red detailing on a white background. The mask is painted black, red, green and white with stylized designs.
Transformation mask, incomplete, outer face wolf. These masks are threaded so that by pulling a string the wearer opens up outside face and reveals inner one.
