This costume is one of three sets that were acquired through Toze Vale (Jose Fernandes Vale from the village of Vila Boa, municipality of Vinhais in Portugal), who is a notable wooden mask maker. His family makes dance costumes used in Lenten ceremonies and the Festa dos Rapazes (Young Men’s Festival). An active member of one of the groups of caretos in Vila Boa, he is a strong supporter of the traditions of his community and has worked to create a small museum in his village. Costumes are not normally sold, but he agreed to the Museum of Anthropology acquiring several of their costumes.
