La partie supérieure du masque est composée d'un support articulé en bois, couvert d'une peau de lapin (signe d'abondance mais aussi porteur de chance pour les chasseurs) ; cette structure en bois suggère la tête d'un animal fantastique ; elle se prolonge par un tissu rouge recouvert de rubans de soie artificielle de différentes couleurs qui cache la silhouette du porteur ; celui-ci manipule la tige de bois supportant le masque-costume ainsi que l'articulation mobile de la tête ; en se mouvant celle-ci produit le bruit spécifique qui accompagne la danse rituelle de la turca (Inventaire du Musée de l'Homme).
