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
