MaskNb11.223

The brow slopes and projects sharply above the nose. Each eye is set in a concave orb in the mask. The eye is made up of a painted white ring surrounding a round hole (2 cm. in diameter, 2 mm deep). The hooked nose is long and narrow and merges with the backswept cheek planes. Up-thrusted narrow nostrils are painted orange. The mouth, encircled by a concave recess, is formed by full, protruding lips, drawn back slightly separated and painted orange. Along the top edge of the mask extend strands of black hair shredded and twisted cedar bark strands, and grey-white feathers. Inside the mask is a leather frame to fit the head.
