It is painted with a purple V design on the top of the forehand and pink swirling and like designs. The eyes are painted light blue with a dark blue outline in the shape of a butterfly, the cheeks are painted with an upside down green v-like shape while the nose is light blue with a purple outline, the teeth are outlined in red, and the chin has a slight purple – and green circular designs at the bottom.
It is made of plaster bandage and paper clay, painted with acrylic paints and ribbon, which ties the mask to the performer.
