Mask of the "Nwenke" type presenting an impassive and very balanced face. It is adorned with scarification marks and is topped by a sagittal crest.
Nails remain stuck in the forehead, which indicates that it must have been decorated with a metal plate, as is sometimes the case for this type of mask.
Dense wood with a patina of use, slight cracks.
