Pink face mask (part a) with large black beard, thick eyesbrows and a moustache. Inserted into the mouth is a bejeweled pipe (part b). The mask is composed of animal hide, which has been painted pink. The lower portion has been cut, then stitched together to give the mask its shape. Holes are cut for the eyes, nostrils and mouth. A single small black dot is placed below the mask's right eye, and another above the moustache. A length of thin black string is looped through the top centre of the mask.
