Opinion
I really like the use of color in this mask. The orange fades into the yellow very nicely. Usually strong animals represent important people in society, like this jaguar mask. I like how the eyes contrast the yellow and orange. I think that the dots could be less uniform since on actual animals the spots are not the same.
