Masks of the traditional figure of the Austrian and Bavarian "Krampus" (also "Percht" (Salzburg, Upper Austria), or "Klaubauf" (Tirol)) are a topic for sculptors and wood carvers. They vary and develop the general scheme of a bad and frightening spirit. These masks are still used in folkloristic traditional processions. Masken des sog. Krampus (auch: "Percht" oder "Klaubauf") werden in den alpinen Regionen Österreichs und Deutschlands im Brauchtum rund um Weihnachten (Rauhnächte) verwendet, und wurden auch als künstlerisches Thema von Holzbildhauern aufgegriffen und weiterentwickelt. Die vorliegende Maske wurde aus einem verleimten Zirbenholz-Rohling herausgearbeitet, bemalt und mit Fellteilen und Hörnern gestaltet.
