Additional Information
Paper cut from package of 8. Green colored paper with shrimp and greenery imagery.
Papercuts like this one were often sold as souvenirs to tourists to show off designs that were inspired by traditional Chinese folk art to Western visitors. This design was hand cut but most likely used finer tools in additions to the small scissors traditionally used in Chinese folk art papercuts.
