Elu mask made of wood has an articulated lower jaw with thick lips, characteristic of Ogoni productions. This system allows the dancer to make the mask "speak". The eyes are pierced, the nose is wide and short. The hairstyle is made up of a thick twisted braid on the skull, flanked by two lateral pigtails.
