Description

Vintage Red Dragon Head w/ mouth that opens & Ears that rotate.
This is a vintage mask from an estate collection that came from China when they traveled in Asia during the 1960s and 1970s. This is approximately 7 inches wide and 5 inches tall. The mask is made of wood and has some kind of hair along with a cloth in the back. The wood is in very good condition but the paint is chipping. even sitting still in bubble wrap this has lost some paint since I looked at this a couple years ago. The mouth-opening action works great. It is upgraded by a string which seems to be in good shape. The ears also rotate back/swivel in their socket and are also held together by a string that is in good shape. The cloth has a small metal wire scrunching it up right below the hair. The hair looks and feels like real hair - possibly from an animal. See pictures.
