About the Item
Mid-Century unique and wonderfully fun large painted papier mache carnival head. This "Curious Grandpa" head resembles a man with white hair and curious facial expression, sadly the head was squished, but it has given him a bit more character! Traditionally worn in the southern and eastern provinces of The Netherlands by the crowd in parades or processions during so called "Carnavalsstoeten". During this 3 to 6 day festival normal daily life comes to a near stop in those provinces. There are 9 different heads, listed separately.
