Romanian / Moldovan Traditional Dance Mask Vintage Moldovan Wood Carving Fur Dance Mask. Outstanding vintage dance mask. Carved and painted wood.  Has fur tied in through the back of the mask. In Romanian and Moldovan folk traditions, many kinds of masks are used at planting time and during the celebrations of Lent prior to Christmas, and during Carnival. Some are used for caroling, while others originate in pre-Christian rituals of appeasing the gods for a rainy spring, bountiful harvest, or successful hunt. Only men may wear such masks.  This mask represents an old man (/ Moldovan ) and is a popular Carnival character. Repaired condition
