"Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum
Mască - Cercetare Nereju, jud. Vrancea (1927)
Iosif Berman · 1927
The image captured by the camera lens presents a mask used at the burial ritual when, on the last night of the dead man’s vigil, masks came considering that they were the souls of the ancestors who come to take the soul of the dead man. The material from which the mask is made is sheet metal; it is ornamented with woolen tassels.
