Large wood mask representing a skull. Mask has a long face, with protruding chin, open mouth showing even teeth on top and bottom, a relatively small nose, and large bulging eyes. A ridge spans from nose to top of head, and to either side on forehead are horn nubs. The face is painted extensively with swirling patterns primarily in white on a dark grey base, with yellow and orange embellishment. Ears are large and painted grey. A beard and hair of straw hang from the chin and around the opening into the mask. Small braids of the same are threaded through holes in the ears, with each ear holding a circular earring attached to a group of braids.
