The town&#8217;s symbol is the <strong>\u201cSu Bundu\u201d<\/strong> mask, which dominates the carnival in Orani.<\/p>\n<p>Carnival celebrations start on 16 January with the bonfire of Sant&#8217;Antonio and the first outing of the masks amidst dances and wailing. The real festival, however, is held on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of the carnival.<\/p>\n<p>The mask portrays a creature <strong>that is half human, half cow<\/strong>. <strong>\u201cSos Bundos\u201d<\/strong> wear the ancient clothing of the Barbaracia peasant tradition: black velvet trousers, white shirt, \u201csu groppette\u201d (a kind of waistcoat), leather shafts (sos gambales), and lastly \u201csu saccu\u201d. <strong>Su saccu<\/strong> is a rough woollen fabric cloak or coat (typical Sardinian artisan fabric in coarse wool), with a hood that covers the entire head. This woollen cloak protected peasants against storms, used as a cover in the event of having to take refuge for the night, or as a table cover when eating in the countryside.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cSos Bundos\u201d mask has been entirely produced in <strong>red-painted cork<\/strong>; it is believed that in ancient times, the mask&#8217;s red colour was obtained from animal blood. The disguise is completed with long horns, a pronounced nose and double chin, painted white. A modern variant of the mask is produced entirely in natural, carved cork to highlight the face&#8217;s somatic features.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSos Bundos\u201d carry <strong>\u201csu moju\u201d<\/strong> in their hands, a small cork container holding the <strong>grain ready to be planted<\/strong>. Indeed, during the carnival processions, &#8220;Sos Bundos&#8221; enact the moment of planting, gripping a wooden fork known as &#8220;su trivuthu\u201d. This is crafted from the branch of a tree, usually oak, pear or olive.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sos Bundos&#8221; use \u201cSu trivuthu&#8221; to strike or sting passers-by to invite them to take part in the propitiatory dance for an abundant harvest. According to popular tradition, on a stormy night, a peasant dressed as &#8220;Bundu&#8221; convinced the evil spirits to respect men and the harvests. The masks appear to stage a battle between good and evil. In the past, those who took part in the &#8220;Sos Bundos&#8221; procession, painted their face with burnt cork and rode on the back of a donkey or a horse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2675,"template":"","tipologia":[995],"categoria":[1026],"tematica":[1032],"class_list":["post-29238","place","type-place","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tipologia-carnevale-en","categoria-ethnoanthropological-asset","tematica-traditions-and-history-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Carnival of Orani - Idese<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/idese.cultura.gov.it\/en\/place\/carnival-of-orani\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Carnival of Orani - Idese\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Orani is a small village in the centre of Barbagia, a place steeped in ancient traditions handed down through the centuries.
