Carved by artist in the Traditional Japanese Noh mask style. Noh mask's are typically carved with cypress then painted over, but mahagony was chosen to create a distinct style for the artist.
Thick, oval shaped eyebrows with circular eye pupils carved and punched out of mask. Indentations carved into both side of inner cheeks. Wide grin with top and bottom teeth showing. 6 teeth on the top row top, 10 teeth on the bottom row. Tongue sticking out slightly, touching the bottom row of teeth.
