Kaijyu Mask

A wall-mounted mask made from long, vertical slats of partially painted and carved red cedar wood, representing a boar-like monster. The abstract features are symmetrical and angular: two pairs of eyes - holes in white and blue shapes - stare towards the viewer. Tusks and pig-hair bristles flank a long, protruding snout with a blue line and a red tongue hangs loosely from a joint below. The forehead is crowned with two sets of horizontal horns.
