A red clay face, formed onto a toothless human skull and decorated with brown, beige, and reddish orange facial tattoo, has Cowrie shell eyes, three rows of brown seeds implanted at the hairline of long twisted black hair locks, and circular bone earrings tied into a hole in each ear.

Clay is molded over the skull to form facial features with cowrie shells used for the eyes. Decorated with dark brown-black curled human hair. Mostly red with some black paint used to accentuate and to decorate the facial features with circular lines, curvi-linear lines, and large dots. Twisted corded fibre is attached through and around the ears.
