MaskA3553

Mask with a scalloped edge, slightly raised eyes, a bird's beak as a nose, a mouth with slightly downturned corners, and two long, slightly tapering ears with rounded ends that protrude up from the top sides of the head. Above the head are a series of triangular pieces of wood arranged in a semicircle and attached together at the outside edge with a strip of leather. The wood pieces are controlled by strings at the outside corners that can be used to pull the triangles down to form rays around the outside edge of the mask. The mask is painted white with black details on the scalloped edge, red and black designs on the forehead, black eyebrows, green around the eyes and on the nose, red nostrils, black dashed lines, scallops, and a curvilinear line on each cheek, a black scalloped moustache and chin beard, and red lips. The triangles above the head are painted white with designs in red and black that form a uniform design when the triangles are closed to form their overall crescent shape.
