A real strength emerges from this mask, both in its forms and in its aesthetic research. The power of the facial attributes stands out: slit coffee bean eyes, triangular nose, mouth wide open with a large smile, hemmed ears. He has kept his beard braided in three braids.
Brass nails can be found all over the mask, emphasizing the structure of the mask, and are widely used by the Bete people on masks as well as on statuary and everyday objects.
