These are miniature Vejigante masks are made of carved and painted walnut shells and outfitted with painted horns made of toothpicks. The original masks these miniatures are based on are carved from coconut husks and crowned with hand carved wooden horns. These masks are part of the traditional celebration of Santiago Apostol held in Loiza, Puerto Rico every July.
