Kukulu Paliya mask (a form of sanni mask) depicting an animal consisting of two padded wire ? frames, each composed of three wire loops, that have been wrapped in red fabric and hinged together to form a jointed, movable jaw. The upper frame supports a muzzle of light yellow-brown hide with a long, black, flaring wooden nose. The creature also has wooden bulging eyes with black pupils surmounted by eyebrows that are attached individually by string to the muzzle and are decorated with geometric patterns in red, yellow, white and black. At the top front of the muzzle is a moustache of stiff plant fibre. The upper and lower frames each have three small jaws (formed by each wire loop), each with their own set of triangular white plastic teeth. A large curly beard made of uneven strands of tightly coiled dark grey wool, tinged light brown to red in some areas, runs the full outer edge of the bottom jaw. Fabric ties are attached to the jaw. A white adhesive label behind the back of the creature's left eyebrow reads, "Kukulu Paliya."
