Name and identification of character
A jackal or a fox, nariya (Sin.).

Context
An animal character in the story of king Maname, Maname Khatava (Sin.) (Vide Preface).

Material
Wood, vel-kaduru (Sin.) (Nux vomica).

Iconography
A hollowed animal mask consisting of a long snout. The face is reddish brown. The mouth is closed. The representation of the animal is stylised, e.g. the eyes are decorative. These are semi-circular with a decorative border. Whiskers have been delicately painted. 

There is a deep cut slot underneath the lower part of the snout. It is very likely that this slot serves the purpose of fixing the mask to a pole. There are no ears.

Comments on the Umlauff Catalogue
The term ¿nariya¿ has wrongly been transliterated as ¿nani¿, which is phonetically incorrect.
