This image depicts a vertical, elongated, carved wooden mask, located in Jos, Nigeria. The mask is predominantly light to medium brown wood with darker reddish-brown accents, indicating staining or burning in areas such as around the eyes and mouth. The upper section features two profile busts of human heads, carved on either side, facing inwards under an arched canopy adorned with geometric patterns. A central vertical element within the canopy displays two carved 'X' marks. The mid-section forms a stylized human face with almond-shaped eye cutouts, a prominent nose, and a wide, open mouth. Intricate geometric patterns, including lines and dots, are carved into the forehead, cheeks, and other surfaces. Small, decorative protrusions with carved 'X' marks extend from the lower sides of the mask. The mask rests on a light-colored, textured surface, possibly fabric or paper, which bears a faint blue cursive inscription on the lower left. A dark, angular object is partially visible in the upper left corner of the background.
