Furry Hyena Mask

A cuddly, but fearsome Gnoll warrior? 

This mask is built on my snarling hyena base. It is a hard resin shell to hold the facial structure and a soft faux fur hood to complete the look and disguise the wearer’s head. The face of the gnoll has been flocked with additional faux fur to sell the furry look.  This is a static mask, meaning that the jaw is in a fixed position.

The eyes are custom made resin eyes. Vision for the wearer is through the pupils of the eyes.

Be aware that vision is limited in this mask. The vision ports through the pupils will result in tunnel vision. Performers may need a handler to assist them, depending on their abilities. Under no circumstances should you drive or take part in any potentially dangerous activity in this mask. This mask is decorative, it serves no protective function. BE SAFE!

There is ventilation through the nostril holes and through the roof of the mouth. Please take care when wearing this mask not to overheat.

It comes complete with padding and an adjustable 3-point strap system to hold it in place on the wearer’s face.

This mask will comfortably fit individuals with a 25 inch circumference head. Depending on the face shape, larger sizes may be able to work with it.

This mask is an art piece. Please treat it as such. Do not engage in dangerous activities while wearing this piece. Any misuse may cause injury.

Made in a smoke free studio.

Care and Maintenance:

-Store over some sort of form in a temperature-controlled space. Heat may cause the mask base to warp and the fur to delaminate.

-Do not tug on fur.

-Hood Fur may be lightly brushed. Spot clean with a damp towelette, using a light touch (no scrubbing)

-Do not brush facial fur as it may remove the flocking and scratch the paint.

-Do not submerge in water or use soap to clean

-Wearing a balacava underneath this mask will help keep it clean and prolong its life. You may wish to periodically sanitize the interior with anti-bacterial spray.

-Comes with additional padding.
