There are 36 fine colored drawings of the faces of men and women, each depicting a variety of characteristics which reveal underlying moral and psychological qualities. Based on the five elements of Chinese philosophy - earth, metal, water, wood, and fire - each portrait is accompanied by an analysis of a personality archetype. According to this theory, knowledge of which element or elements dominate can help provide further insight into a person's life and relationships. By looking at someone's face, we can determine his or her character, personality, health, wealth potential, social standing, and longevity.--Vendor's description Title form text The wrappers are stout board.
