wood, pigments,
The eye zone of the mask shows a framing in shape of “diving glasses”. The nose is strikingly short with pierced septum. The mouth is marked by incised lines.
Particularly unusual is the projection in the shape of an animal’s head with accentuated rows of teeth (dog) just below the mouth.
