Zagone Studios Krampus Adult Mask

Product Information

I first heard about Krampus during a Europe Christmas market visit but wasn’t there on the right day and I’ve been curious ever since. I don’t like the whole scaring the crap of children on purpose part, but, still, I want to have both of your experiences! The woods and city square both sounded incredible. Great tip about the dark clothes I've gotten so many compliments in just the short time I've owned them, I can't wait to wear them to cons and make some covers for them Goat-horned half-demons with scraggy coats of fur, lolling tongues and threatening bundles of birch branches are no one’s idea of a welcome guest on a winter’s night. In the final touches, demonic glass eyes and horns are added to the mask. The horns are often the real deal. Coming from goats in the region. Ultimately, the mask is primed and painted with oil and acrylic strokes, transforming the wood into a living, breathing beast. A soft inner padding is then often added providing a layer of comfort for the would-be mask wearer.

According to Christian folklore, they are demonic creatures, half-man, half-animal. Conquered by St. Nicholas, he demanded their obedience making them part of his legion.Since birch is representative of purification, fertility, and Krampus, why not make your own bundle o’ birch twigs to celebrate Krampusnacht? This bundle can be placed at your front door to ward off evil and bring in prosperity over the holidays from December 5th on. Or make a small bundle and place it somewhere in your Yuletide tree in honor of Krampus. 3.

We asked the community whether there would be rooms available for our passports and for mask carving. Mayor Klaus Winkler suggested this place to us. In one year of extensive work, we have now adapted the rooms as a museum with a carving workshop and club room. There are currently around 50 exhibits (including larvae, costumes, etc.) on display, also from friends from the region; In the future, we also want to regularly buy new pieces or temporarily exhibit them from other groups." We don’t know exactly who Krampus is, just that he is an enigma likely stemming from older pagan times. Scholars have made connections between the Christmas Devil and other ancient pagan fertility gods like Pan, Cernunnos, Faunus and Bacchus. Author Judika Illes takes note of Krampusnacht being celebrated on the same day as an ancient Roman festival called Faunalia. Faunalia was celebrated in Rome around December 5th in honor of the fertility god Faunus. And, what do you know, Faunus is the Roman equivalent to the Greek fertility god Pan. Both of whom manifest as half-man half-goat with cloven hooves, fur and horns. Just like our boy here. What we do know is the origin of Krampus hails from Southern Germany, in the Bavarian Alps. Though his image has seemingly spread worldwide these days. In Bavaria the people celebrate Krampusnacht and have a “running of the Krampuses” or Krampuslauf. This is a parade that’s become quite popular in modern times and drives tourism to the region in the Winter months. When is Krampusnacht? And What Does Krampus Do? In Central European mythology, Krampus is an evil demon who punishes naughty kids (as opposed to Saint Nicholas, who rewards good kids).Deep within these snow-laden valleys of Austria and South Tyrol, artisans bring to life the Krampus mask. An authentic mask, in tune with tradition, is a wood-carved masterpiece chiseled to chilling perfection.
