Product Upload — Peking Opera Character Lantern

Bring the grandeur of traditional Chinese opera to your festival with our Peking Opera Character Lantern — a meticulously crafted illuminated sculpture that captures the iconic visual language of jingju (京剧). With bold black-and-white face painting, sweeping blue ribbons, an ornate headdress adorned with pink and gold pom-poms, and traditional red-and-gold layered robes, this character embodies the theatrical drama and cultural heritage of one of China’s most celebrated art forms.

The figure is paired with a glowing lotus-leaf backdrop in vibrant green and blue, evoking the stage scenery of classic opera productions. Every detail — the painted facial expression, the flowing sleeves, the ornamental headdress — is hand-crafted by Zigong artisans who have spent decades mastering the silk-and-steel construction of traditional festival lanterns. Inside, warm LED lighting brings the silk-painted surfaces to life, highlighting the rich reds, golds, blues, and ivory whites of the costume.

Perfect for Chinese cultural festivals, museum exhibitions, intangible heritage celebrations, theatre-themed events, school cultural programs, Chinatown celebrations, and traditional Chinese New Year displays. We can customise the character role (sheng, dan, jing, chou), the costume, the face painting, and the backdrop scenery to match your cultural narrative or event theme.
