Careta de vejigante
The mask of the vejigante character, horned and painted in strong colors. In Ponce it is made of papier mâché with many horns, and in Loíza it is carved from coconut husk, and that difference identifies the origin at a glance. Accredited artisan pieces are signed and priced by size and number of horns.
Esempio
If the mask is carved coconut, it comes from the Loíza tradition rather than the Ponce carnival.
