Chinese Folk Paper Puppet (Male, Pink Face, Green Robe)

This 1950s hand-crafted Chinese folk paper puppet, titled “Chinese Folk Paper Puppet (Male, Pink Face, Green Robe),” reflects the elegance of traditional glove puppetry. Its pink face, free of facial hair, suggests a youthful character, possibly a scholar or attendant, with a lively personality hinted by its green and orange hat. The puppet’s light green silk costume features floral embroidery, symbols of purity and modesty. With red shoes and a simple design, it likely serves as a supporting figure, adding balance to main characters in performances and embodying values of humility and harmony central to Chinese folk theatre.
