At the base of the chin is a bright pink V-shaped design. The teeth are outlined in pink and purple, and the nose is light purple. The eyes have bright yellow circular designs from the tear ducts onto the cheeks and the forehead above light purple eyebrows. At the center of the forehead is a bright pink leaf with a gem at the center.
It is made of plaster bandage and paper clay, painted with acrylic paints and ribbon, which ties the mask to the performer.
