Description:

A copy of one of nine existing Hahae Pyonsin-kut masks in South Korea; the originals date from the 11th-12th century. The Bune is a flirtatious young courtesan with a heavly made-up oval face and smiling mouth. She is abducted by an apostate monk and, in a later scene, is the object of attention by an aristocrat and scholar, who both make fools of themselves courting her favours.
