Headdress or helmet carved from wood and painted. The dome-shaped helmet is painted dark red, and is decorated with a face on one side. The face has a long black nose, two white slits for eyes, arched orange-brown eyebrows, and a rectangular mouth with teeth bared. On each cheek and above the eyebrows are three marks. Two small pointed ears extend out on either side, and two larger off-white horn-like appendages extend up from behind the ears. Each horn has three horizontal lines and the tips are pierced. Standing on top centre is a small humanoid figure. On the opposite side is a blue lizard. There are holes drilled through around the rim.
