(ANONYMOUS) CHINESE FOLK PAPER-CUTS (set of 12 birds in a booklet)
China: [ca 1955] A set consisting of 12 circular paper cuts of birds in flowering boughs or a background with flowers - each scene depicts a male bird and a female of the species -peacocks, ducks, herons, and small song birds. Each circle is 7 inch in diameter and each is cut from a different colored piece of thin rice paper. Very intricate and lacy - more than half of the paper has been cut out. Not dated, and not signed but these seem quite different from the modern papercuts currently being produced. All of these have a thin outer border of paper with the design within this frame. This set is interleaved in a small square book, with blank soft white tissue pages, measuring 8 inches square and covered with embroidered red and green silk. White paper cover label with title in Chinese and English. Just about fine - one paper-cut has a crease in the outer circle.
