A white triangle extends from the top of the mask to just above the nose, fine black lines create a grid of triangles that covers it. Blue eyes can clearly be seen in the eye holes of the mask. The tip of the nose and nostrils show below the lower edge of the mask. On each side of the nose two white triangles with red sides are attached to the bottom of the mask.</p><p>A side view shows how the mask contours to fit the eye sockets and nose. There is more brown along the edge where the sculpture meets the wall. There is a pronounced double chin and another blue ear. All the above described details are visible in this image.</p>
