Their faces are hidden by expressionless masks that serve an effective depersonalization function. Still crafted by some of the dancers, they are made of canvas and plaster, internally coated in wax and painted white, with a black bautta and red lips (sometimes even the cheeks). The most distinctive element of the costume, however, is the hat, covered with yards of curled red wool ribbon onto which gold and jewels borrowed from the community's families are firmly sewn, alternating with small fragments of mirror. Attached to the hat is a showy bow of multicolored ribbons, whose rhythmic movement during the dance is deliberately accentuated by the dancer's shaking of his head. Photograph by Elena Piccini, 1997.
