Chinese Folk Paper Puppet (Male, Black Face, Black Robes)

This 1950s hand-crafted Chinese glove puppet, titled “Chinese Glove Puppet in Yellow Regal Attire,” portrays a dignified male figure of wisdom and authority. His warm pink-orange face, subtle blush, and composed expression suggest a noble or civil role, while his short eyebrows indicate calm and control. The red headdress with lilies and green accents symbolizes purity and commitment, adding depth to his character. His black beard and yellow silk robe, embroidered with red flowers and green highlights, convey prestige and moral clarity. Likely a ‘seng’ role, this puppet represents a wise advisor or noble leader, embodying stability and cultural values of loyalty and dignity in performances.
