Remains of red ochre are percep- tible in a band around the mouth and around the edge of the mask ; the right eye is red, also concentric circle and radii around the hole in the forehead (to represent the sun f ) and a red half moon above it. Lied paint from the wearer's face also visible in the interior of the mask where the two had come in contact. A V-shaped groove extends from the root of the nose upward to the insertion of two feathers, one on each horn of the mask. On each side -there wer...e originally six feathers, pegged in; peepholes at the nostrils where a fragment of sinew thread indicates that a nose ornament was hung, and, inside, a small bar of wood lashed with strong sinew by the middle and by a cord about an inch long to the nasal septum. This was held in the teeth and took the place of the ordinary arched mouth-bar, fastened at both ends. The lower margin of the mask is indented or excavated in the middle, the better to receive the front of the neck. The lattice mostly gone.
