Who knows what this "mask"?
 

Please tell me who knows what kind of artwork? Maybe someone will read what is written in the annex thereto. I only know that these masks are made of very, very thin material, it does not figure as each "mask" carved out of some material, "drawing" (painting) from both sides, the average size of a "mask" 70 * 90 mm "Mask" lot, purchased them in 1960 or earlier. Can someone tell and price? Thanks in advance to all

Sergeev,

Seema, I remember such masks were sold in the 50 years in the foreign book.

Chinese souvenirs since the great Sino-Soviet friendship.

I almost do not know Chinese, but something that I can make out.
脸谱 means of flyers "album masks, make-up samples of the Chinese actor. Also in the leaflet is written, that is the art of cut paper, circulated in the county Yuysyan. This popular fishery.

Better yet, look for information in English the words "Yuxian Paper-cutting", quite a lot of information.
Artistic value do not think is.

It was the case. And our school such prisysali Chinese students, and we give them their crafts.

But the price of these masks on the Internet:

$ 6 per set of 3 masks

But in general offers a lot of different prices, depends on the cheek sellers.
In any case, even $ 100 out of the question.
It is better to leave it as a souvenir.
