This is a lion dance mask purchased about 10 years ago for a corporate event and used only at that time. It has been stored indoors as a decoration since then, so it is in very beautiful condition overall. (There is a small scratch on the tip of the nose... see image 8) I am not an expert, but I believe it is a traditional craft item made with lacquer (vermilion lacquer) and is also considered a lucky charm, making it a very valuable item. I will provide additional images if requested. Shipping will be handled with care, wrapped in bubble wrap and marked as fragile. Made by Okada Musical accompaniment Festival
