The crest is roughly triangular with rounded edges rising to a point above the face, edged with soft white feathers with brown tips. The crest begins at the top of the face with a black triangle, outlined by widening stripes to create the shape of the crest.

The edge of the woven crest is tied with string to a stick that goes around the edge, the feathers are attached to the stick. The back and inside of the mask are unpainted plant fibre.
