The image is a rectangular wooden signboard. The signboard has a painting of a buffalo's head in profile with detailed fur texture and prominent horns at the center. The animal's face is facing slightly to the right, showing its eye and horns. The signboard is framed in a weathered blue-green paint with gold-colored accents and a stylized arch at the top. The words "The Peeraine Inn" are inscribed above and below the painting in faded letters matching the frame's accents. There are two metal hooks at the top corners of the sign.
