Wucy Woo - 崔莺莺 Cui Ying Ying

Romance of the West Chamber (西厢记) is considered the most beautiful love stories in Chinese history. This headdress is the style from the Kunqu opera, my favorite version. The lead character Cui Ying Ying is from a wealthy family and falls in love with a commoner. Her family forbids their love, but with the help of her maid, the lovers can finally be together. Collectors: the headdresses in Chinese opera vary depending on the rank of the character in society. The higher ranked characters will have more detailed and elaborate headdresses. There will be some variation in the price of pieces according to the details and time used to create.
