The exterior of the mask is painted bright orange with two circular holes cut for the eyes, which have been painted blue, pink, and white with a black brow. The mask has a large sculpted nose and mouth, painted with whiskers and fangs. The face of the animal is airbrushed with alternating brown and red stripes to indicate a mane. The interior of the mask is painted a uniform bright pink. The mask is somewhat damaged, with many cracks and areas of chipped paint.
