Original wood carving "Kuker Mask II"

Original wood carving of the great Bulgarian Master Ivan Yotov - "Kuker Mask 2"!

The work is inspired by the tradition of the "Kukers" - elaborately costumed Bulgarian men, women and children who perform traditional rituals intended to scare away evil spirits. This Bulgarian tradition has been practiced since Thracian times.

"This work is offered along with a spell to drive away disease, evil and wickedness. May the owner of this artwork have work, bread, a child's smile, and love!" - Ivan Yotov

This one-of-a-kind mask is made of mulberry and treated with patina and pigments.
