Vintage Bolivia Diablada Oruro Festival Doll With Devil Mask

Bolivia’s Dance of the Devils Is a Party and a Battle Between Good and Evil
Heaven and hell, music and dance at the Carnaval de Oruro.
Carnaval is celebrated throughout South America. It is a festive time when huge celebrations of dance and music break out in Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, and even in the highlands of Bolivia. These symbolic dances are representations of the battle of good over evil. The entry of Lucifer Tio Supay commences the entire event. He is followed by large groups of dancers, each representing a different form of Bolivian dance. These devils stand-out in their pink tights, red and white boots decorated with dragons and serpents, velvet capes sewn with silver thread, coins and small mirrors. They can be seen sporting long, golden-haired wigs and their signature frightening masks and feature great horns, bulging eyes and jagged teeth.
