Very similar to the Bulgarian kukeri! Pagan Slavic influence maybe?

Who knows? :) Traditional costums from the mists of time. We give away the next generations. The mask is a ritual element present at all world peoples. The masks wear at different moments around the winter Holidays, in Romania and Republic of Moldova, have a meaning about the veneration cult of the sacred animals, some was associated with The Sun Cult. Mircea Eliade wrote “ These ceremonies are common in Balcans , especially in Romania, during the 12 days of the Christmas Eve until the Epiphany”. At these traditions origin were the ceremonies about the periodic return of dead and were made many animal masks ( horse, goat, bear etc.)
