Descripción:

The video shows the manufacturing of the typical Sardinian Mask, very popular in all the region for its use during the Carnival. The material used for the traditional mask is the wood. The artisans traditionally use pear wood. The incision of the mask is usually made during the winter: the trunk is left to mature away from light and humidity, from 3 to 6 months. Then, the artisans shape and smooth the mask. Finally, the finishing touches are made: the decorative symbols are chosen and the carvings are made.
