Description:

A copy of one of nine existing Hahae Pyonsin-kut masks in South Korea; the originals date from the 11th-12th century. This scholar has a conceited and haughty expression, which varies somewhat with the manipulation of the jaw. In trying to impress a courtesan, he reveals his pretension to knowledge as a sham.
