Monster n°2 (Colour) A4 poster

Size: A4

This monster is inspired by the kukeri and they are hunters of evil spirits, belonging to Bulgarian folklore. Every year before spring, Bulgarians celebrate the kukeri festival. Men dress up in costumes made of furs, feathers and horns, with terrifying masks, and perform magic dances in the streets. At the sound of dozens of bells attached to their belts, they chase away evil spirits and bad fortune, and make wishes of good health and prosperity.
