Mask

This triangular shaped mask is rounded off at the top where incised grooved indicate the hairline. Facial features show two round protruding eyes, a triangular shaped nose and a horizontal mouth with thick, protruding lips. Holes round the rim of the mask indicate the attachment of a costume or headdress. Evidence of kaolin or some encrustation seems evident.
