8 Immortals Chinese Paper/silk Doll Art Vintage Antique Pink Frame

24 1/2” x 11” Framed behind glass Good condition The frame is a pinkish / mauve color This artwork appears to be a traditional Asian-style craft piece, likely of Chinese or Korean origin. The figures depicted in the frame are wearing traditional East Asian clothing, and their appearances suggest they may represent scholars, nobles, or figures from folklore, legend, or classical literature. Notable Features: • Materials: The artwork looks like it’s made with fabric, paper, and possibly real hair (used for beards and ponytails), arranged in a three-dimensional, handcrafted collage style. • Style: This is reminiscent of traditional Korean “Hanji” art or Chinese paper doll art, where detailed figures are created with textured paper and cloth. • Clothing: The robes, hats, and accessories align more closely with historical Hanbok (Korean traditional dress) or Hanfu (Chinese traditional dress). • Objects: Each figure holds a different object — a fan, a scroll, a musical instrument, a peach (symbol of longevity), etc. These are often symbolic: • Fan: Wisdom or status • Peach: Immortality or longevity • Scroll: Knowledge • Instruments or gourd: Cultural richness or healing Possible Interpretation: This could be a representation of the Eight Immortals (Baxian) from Chinese mythology or another group of legendary or scholarly figures — like sages or Confucian scholars. Alternatively, if Korean, it might depict Joseon-era court officials or musicians, often featured in decorative folk art. Thanks for looking at our listing
