Item Details: Style: Peking / Beijing Opera Material: Ceramic / Pottery Quantity: You will receive the pair (2 masks) shown in the photos. Approximate Size: Each mask is about 1.25 inches (3.2 cm) long. These items are not in perfect condition. Please examine all photos carefully as they are the most important part of the description. Mask 1 (Red/White face): Has a small paint chip on the top edge of the head/headdress. Mask 2 (Yellow/White face): Has a chip on the back rim, which is not visible when displayed from the front. Please note that I am not an expert on Asian art or antiques. These masks were inherited, and I am sharing what I have learned about them. While they were described to me as being from Japan, the artistic style is clearly that of Chinese Peking (Beijing) Opera. Therefore, they may be Japanese-made items inspired by Chinese culture, or they could be Chinese in origin. I am listing them based on their distinct visual style.
