Description
Content (description)
Mask of marine monster, with finny growths on cheeks, seaweed on eyebrows and forehead. The tongue hangs out of the gaping mouth. The ears are pointed and pushed forward. The beard is long and shaggy. Horns rise on head from behind locks of hair. Leaves and berries in the hair perhaps belong to a wreath. Below the ears are two sinuous sea-snakes.
