Description: |
A copy of one of nine existing Hahae Pyonsin-kut masks in South Korea; the originals date from the 11th-12th century. Halmi is a chattering old peasant woman with a wizend face, who grumbles about her pityful life as she weaves hemp clothes and collects donations from the audience. She serves as a contrast to the pretentiousness of the wealthy and powerful character of the dance drama. |
