Light-coloured bark bast with painted black and yellow circles and dots covers a cane weave. The eyebrows, emphasised by attached light wood, are further accentuated by a coat of pitch, as are the eyes, which are framed by thick round bast beads containing glass splinters. The nose is a long, attached bast bead; two rows of carved wooden teeth are bound with bast strips in the half-open mouth, which is painted with pitch. Entry in the historical catalogue: Mask.
