Life-sized mask of a male with openings for the eyes, nose, and mouth. The surface is badly corroded with thick encrustations. The nostrils have been filled with restoration material. The mask is dark brown in color with green, red, orange, and white blotches. The chin has been restored. There is a large protrusion on the forehead, possibly the original material or a later encrustation.
