On December 7th people celebrate the famous "Quema del Diablo" – Burning of the Devil, a purification ritual before Christmas Celebrations. Dancers dressed with red and black costumes will dance around the bonfires. This character is not necessarily evil; some pieces will be decorated with diverse symbols, like snakes, frogs, monkeys, etc., to represent different kind of personalities, good, funny, tricky or dangerous. This piece has long black leather ears and red wooden horns attached; a funny looking black wool beard highlights the devil\'s chin. Notice the curious carved red and white pained teeth; thick eyebrows and moustaches, but tiny eyelashes give the piece an extraordinary expression. The backside is highlighted by a curious Ying-Yang symbol made by the former owner, patina denotes use. Please notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping.
