The mask is said to combine antelope and crocodile features. It is distinguished from other "goli" masks by the playing of the "tre" horn during the dance. "Glen" wears a large antelope skin on its back and a fresh green palm-fiber cape, which takes several men a couple of hours to prepare and is very heavy to wear. He does a rapid, vigorous stamping dance that is rather wild-looking but never uncontrolled.
