The figure on the left portrays a male role (sheng or chou) in vibrant robes, while the figure on the right portrays a female role (dan) in an elaborate embroidered costume, holding a prop weapon or ribbon in an expressive dramatic pose. The denomination 10元 appears in the upper left field. Chinese characters identifying the operatic scene or characters are inscribed along the right periphery. The polychrome enamel coloring technique highlights the richly patterned costumes against a polished proof background. |
