Beijing KEMPINSKI Hotel Hand Painted Chinese Opera Masks Yinyang Lufthansa 5ct.

Description

These colorful miniature (2.25") masks represent the masks Chinese opera characters painted on their faces.  Each mask is different.  I believe a complete set is 48 in number.  The different colors indicate different qualities: Red = prosperity and bravery; white = evil and being hypercritical; Purple = justice and sophistication; Black = integrity and impartiality; Blue = stubbornness and fierceness; Green = a violent and impulsive character; Yellow = a cruel and ambitious character.  Gold and silver are used to represent the deities.  They are all very collectible.  Made of ceramic clay they are hand painted. These five masks are in pretty good condition.  They do chip easily on the edges.  One mask appears to have been retouched.  Look at the photos.
