About this object:
A powerful Salampasu mask featuring a swollen, domed forehead decorated with a crosshatched X pattern accented by small metal studs. The deep-set almond eyes are marked beneath by vertical incised "tear" lines running down the cheeks, adding to the mask's intense, watchful expression. Small block-shaped ears project from either side of the head. The lower face projects forward into a pronounced bulging jaw, opening to reveal a full row of sharply filed, triangular teeth set within a dark-rimmed oval mouth — the mask's most visually striking and symbolically loaded feature. Additional metal studs run along the base of the chin. The wood carries a rich reddish-brown patina throughout, with darker tones in the recessed areas.
