These are handmade paper cuts of warriors from Beijing opera plays.  The facial makeups of Beijing opera are various designs of lines andcolored patches painted on the faces of certain operatic characters. They follow traditionally fixed patterns for specific types to highlight the disposition and quality in the personages, so that the audience may immediately know whether they are heroes or villains, whether they are kind or treacherous and wicked.

The warrior portait paper cut is framed between two pieces of glasses to give you the best view of the delicate lines and cuts of the artwork. 

The shipped item will be chosen randomly from the different designs.  If you have a specific design would like to recieve, please contact us in detail.
