This is like one of those "Spot the Odd One Out' games. A test of observation. No 2 and No 4 appear to be the same but they aren't. #1 and #3 ARE the same.
So, what's the significance of the red/gold combination. Chinese do favour red and gold, I understand, so this must be for the same reasons? Similar cultural meanings of good luck and prosperity?
Do I also assume that these are actual face-size or are they miniatures? Did you buy one? Sorry about all the questions .. maybe a longer explanatory note?
manila Jury took a long look and there were mutterings of crop options. Not easy with something like this, Jimmy the Knife suggested cropping INTO the masks on the left, better a cut into an object to have some parity with the cut on the right. 8.3/10 was the eventual decision.

Hi Chris,
Looks very intricate and colourful. It is a pity that the shop decided to exhibit them on a pale blue wall, a dark background would have made this picture much more richer.
