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. The character is not necessarily evil; some pieces will be decorated with diverse symbols to represent different kind of personalities, good or evil. This piece has long golden painted leather ears and curious golden pained hair; thick chin beard and moustaches, that together give the piece an extraordinary expression. Patina on the backside denotes use. Please notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping.
