Le masque de nudité rappelle les premiers habitants de l'île, les Indiens Caraïbes. C'est donc un masque porté nu, le corps simplement enduit de roukou (poudre tinctoriale rouge). Il ne comprend qu'une coiffe, toque en carton peint doré décoré de plumes multicolores et de baguettes de bois sur le dessus, de coquillages naturels et plastiques collés, et de rubans synthétiques métallisés, or, bleu, rouge. Le support en carton conserve encore à l'intérieur l'étiquette de "couscous surgelé".
