This mask conceived in classic Salampasu style, and displays a bulging forehead, downward thrusting face, coif made of rattan balls and pointed aggressive teeth that have become stylistic characteristics. The mask displays a great deal of obvious age and use and the surface is encrusted with an impressive coating of sacrificial material.
