Painted owl headdress with a protruding beak. Red overall, with other features and designs painted on. The beak and area surrounding the eyes is blue, eyebrows are black.

Above the owl's face is a carved headdress featuring a white peak and an arching line. Other colours on the headdress include red, blue, green and yellow. Two large metal studs are used for eyes, secured by nails. Other smaller metal studs are painted white and decorate the area around the face. Baleen is attached to the back of the mask and is visible above the headdress. Two brown textiles are also attached to the back of the mask creating a hat-like structure. (Similar to A7858).
