Traditional Hungarian Busó Mask – Mohács Authentic traditional Hungarian Busó mask originating from Mohács, Hungary, associated with the historic Busójárás winter festival, a UNESCO-recognised folk tradition. The mask is hand-carved from solid wood, featuring a strongly expressive facial form with carved teeth, pronounced cheeks and nose, and a distinctive, powerful character typical of traditional Busó masks. It is complemented with natural animal fur, leather elements, and real horns, all assembled using traditional techniques. The surface shows natural patina, wear, and age-related marks, consistent with genuine folk use and age, adding authenticity and character. These signs of use should be regarded as part of the object’s cultural and historical value, not as damage. Such masks were historically worn during ritual processions intended to chase away winter and evil spirits, making them both symbolic and visually striking folk art objects. Today, original examples are highly sought after by collectors of European ethnographic art, folk art, and ritual objects.“The mask features original animal horns" A strong decorative and collectible piece with clear cultural identity, suitable for serious collectors or interior display.
