Mi-homme, mi-oiseau, le visage s'articule en une succession de volumes puissamment projetés dans l'espace - la tension accentuée par les lignes convergentes du bec et du front en visière, et par le rythme serré opposant plans brefs et courbes étirées. Il a conservé, à l'extrémité du front, un fer rituel.
cf. Vandenhoute (1948 : 49, n° 1) pour un masque stylistiquement apparenté, provenant du village de Flanpleu, à la limite des styles Dan et Wobé, et attribué au Maître Kmantadouwe (mort en 1904).
Ici la superbe usure - tant sur la face externe qu'interne - et la profondeur de la patine attestent son ancienneté.
