Item description from seller

Size 250mmX185mm. The Peking opera face is characterized by symbolism and exaggeration, that is, by the use of signs and symbols and exaggerated or distorted features to represent a person's character or attributes. Very often eyes, brows, and cheeks are depicted like bats, butterflies or swallows' wings which, together with an exaggerates mouth and nose, produce the desired facial expressions. An optimistic person is usually portrayed with clear eyes and smooth brows, while a grief-stricken or cruel person will have half-closed eyes and wrinkled brows. **There is a 2.5 centimetre ink mark on the frontispiece.**.
