Description
This vintage piece is a 20th-century Chinese buff stone carving depicting a Sichuan face mask, measuring 7x6 cm or approximately 2.76x2.36 inches. Sichuan opera is famous for its colorful face masks, which are used to express the emotions and traits of characters, and this carving captures the dramatic expressions typical of the art form. The mask is intricately carved and painted, highlighting the skilled craftsmanship of the era. Traditionally, such masks are associated with cultural performances and are highly collectible items that reflect the rich theatrical history of China. This carving, while not an ancient artifact, embodies the vibrant cultural heritage of Sichuan opera and would be a unique addition to any collection of Oriental art or performance memorabilia.
