The cachet features a black ink illustration of a giant panda eating bamboo, with 'Wild Animals' written in cursive script and 'TECHNICAL' printed below the panda artwork. The stamp is a USA 29-cent issue depicting a close-up photographic image of a giraffe's head and neck against a blue background, labeled 'Giraffe.' The pictorial cancellation shows outline drawings of a giraffe, panda, and flamingo with 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE / Oct. 1, 1992 / New Orleans, LA 70113' text.
