2008-10-31 Devil Avatars

All over the globe you find folklore traditions that deal with masks of entities that have horns. Some call them 'devils' or whatever. In German they are called 'Krampus' or 'Teufel'.
Three weeks ago there was an exhibition in our village with mostly wooden masks made by the people of some Austrian areas. Some pics of this exhibition you can find at the wilbau-blog.
The following avatars I made from the photos we took at this exhibition.

Here now a collection of135 avatars ... if you are in desperate need of such an avatar please help yourself. Right click and save as (to your harddrive) and upload to your community :)

The avatars have numbers. Maybe you like to tell me in a comment which ones you like best. Thank you! I also beg for pardon to the members of such faiths that do not look positive at such pictures, like for example the Muslim Community. Maybe you can forgive me.
Everything and everyone serves a certain purpose.
