It symbolizes jealousy and resentment and is applied to female characters when angry. This mask is lacquered red with golden horns, eyes, and teeth, and black hair. It has a clear brushed lacquer panel of wood behind it for extra decoration and is held on by a string. It can be used for all kinds of home and office decor.
