Helmet Mask

Cleveland Museum of Art

Dark brown wooden mask, "Helmet Mask". The mask has a long nose and large mouth with vertical slits. Two large eyes have light brown circles around them. The mouth is open, revealing a set of teeth-like protrusions. The top of the mask features a crest with multiple smaller faces or figures, possibly representing hair or a crown. The background transitions from dark gray at the top to white at the bottom. Artist unknown.
