Fairy Mask

This is a Fiere, or Fairy, mask, worn by the Jolly masquerader, as part of the Krio Oje Society. Such masks are worn with a costume made of brightly coloured fabric and shiny material such as tinsel, or galance. The Jolly comes out to make fun, and it often danced by a younger member of the group.
