1960's Dutch Carnival Parade Heads - Blue Bulldog

Netherlands

Mid-Century unique and wonderfully fun large painted papier mache carnival head. This "Blue Bulldog" head resembles a very grumpy little cartoon bulldog with a studded collar and loads of character! Traditionally worn in the southern and eastern provinces of The Netherlands by the crowd in parades or processions during so called "Carnavalsstoeten". During this 3 to 6 day festival normal daily life comes to a near stop in those provinces. There's one more "Blue bulldog" head, listed separately. There are 9 different heads in total, all listed separately (O298).
