Carved wooden mask representing the face of an anthropomorphized grouse with his lips pursed. The face is painted white with black, brown, red, and orange accents. Strips of cedar are affixed to the top of the grouse’s head cascading down either side of their face. Some of the strips are tied into a knotted ponytail that extend in front of the grouse’s face.
