The Kran mask is weird, ugly, defunct,
not real. Since masks are spirits
it should not have any human representation.
The carver has to carve a mask
that has a monkey-like physical appearance.
Huge lips, tubular eye, a flabby
cheek. Sometimes there is an attachment
on the head with a horn-like projection.
This is a warlike mask. He
comes in and it is chaos all around.
It is
a very strong mask.”
