Full original description
On the head are raised two horns whose extremities are joined together forming a fully circular crown, inside of which is a drawing formed by some arc segments on the outside of the circle similar to a toothed wheel. Close and elongated eyes. The mask body looks like a half-cane structure closed and pumped at the top, giving the image of a thick bell with its handle. Small ears and mouth absent. It's a rare mask that can be from a Goli mask. Dark patina.
