Mask

The Pongsan Mask Dance-Drama and the Yangju Pyol Sandae Nori, both of which combine dialogue, dance, and music, are part of a cycle of folk plays found throughout Korea. This mask is used in the Yangju Pyol Sandae Nori.

Colour and design are typical of a character called Waejangnyo, a procuress.

White face mask (female) with black hair parted at centre and raised eyebrows with black dots. Solid red circle in centre of forehead; another on either cheek. Bow shaped lips are parted to show red interior of mouth. Black cotton fabric and fabric ties attached at back of mask; inscriptions on inside.
