This Chinese umbrella mask celebrates Peking Opera!
This Chinese Umbrella is in the image of a Mask from the Chinese opera. The actors of the Peking opera, which appeared in the 18th century, used to wear a mask to give clues about their character and to accentuate their expressions. Each mask and each color then had its own meaning. For example, a red mask meant a good, loyal, and trustworthy character. Green symbolizes a courageous and impulsive character. Yellow a character ready to do anything to achieve his ends. Finally, blue indicates a sneaky and calculating character, rather bad.
