Painted bear headdress. The head is wide and slightly rounded, with large wedge-shaped ears on top outer edges splaying slightly to either side. A carved line emphasizes the forehead and head top, which are painted black. Eyes are red and white, surrounded by green, backed by carved red rectangles. The black and natural brown snout is wide, tapering toward the nose where carved nostrils are painted red. The bared teeth are square with pointed cuspids, painted white. The interior of the headdress is hollowed out. "Hank Robertson" is carved in the wood, inside.
