This is an extremely rare vintage nuo opera mask hand carved by the bouyei tribe people who live in Guizhou province China. Mask such as this are used in traditional Chinese Nuo opera performed during religious ceremonies and festivals. The Bouyei people of that region still practice animist and ancestor worship religion that is influenced by Taoism. Mask such as this are used in religious rituals, exorcisms and festivals by shaman.  In Bouyei culture the shaman is the keeper of all religious and ceremonial masks as they are considered sacred and believed to contain special powers.  Mask such as this are exceeding rare and difficult to find and obtain these days. I was very fortunate to have been able to find and procure it during my most recent visit to Guizhou province. Now it can be yours. Don't let this unique opportunity pass you by... Buy it now!
