Large heavy almost conical mask painted and carved in the form of a bear or an otter with hinged jaw and inset teeth. The creature has round eyes circled by green, brown and white. The rounded snout has a red nose with curling nostrils, surrounded by a ring of holes that possibly once held whiskers. The lips are painted red, and the lower jaw is attached with a piece of leather. The lower jaw can be moved by a piece of leather running through a groove on the inside top surface of the mask. The bear or otter has very small ears pressed back against its head, giving the creature a very ferocious appearance.; Good
