agayu (Mask)

Physical description

Mask is composed of a cut face of a fox-like animal with two red pointed ears, cut out angled eyes, cut out nostrils, and slightly open cut out mouth with green hair painted around it. The animal face also forms the side-view of the body of a fish with eyes painted grey, a red carved mouth and gill, and fins and tail painted with grey lines. Two surrounding curved wood sticks are attached to the mask along the sides with four pegs. Six black feathers are attached all around the mask through the two surrounding curved wood sticks and have a wood ornament attached at their ends, starting from the top, clock-wise: fish, fish, fish, fish, duck, and duck.
