Nice trade kachina with a mask showing prominent eyes and a long snout from which hangs a red tongue. The body, almost flat, carries the arms along the torso barred by a skin scarf. The shoulders are painted with blue/green and yellow drips. The kilt has a white background and the legs are separated.
During ceremonies, Wupomo carries a bow and arrows. These attributes, as well as his prominent eyes, make him a kachina warrior or guardian.
