Where the horns attach to the mask, there is a ball of bunched fabric on either side of the head. Another ball of bunched fabric is right above the eyes. The eyes are cut out and a lining is stitched around them. The mouth is tubular and made from the same cloth as the rest of the mask. Unpainted. |
