special price till christmas Mummering involved a group of people, disguised in ridiculous attire, who called on local homes during the Christmas season. These Mummers or Jennies, as they called themselves, dressed in bright coloured clothing and wore masks when available or painted their faces black. They also distorted their voices to avoid being easily recognized. After being invited inside a house, festivities ensued where food and drink were offered to the visitors who acted the fool and sang and danced while the hosts attempted to identify them. Once a person's identity was correctly determined, it was customary for the mummer to remove his or her mask. The traditional custom of mummering still occurs in many regions of the province today. follow the link below as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8OPy7De3bk this piece contains three mummers and a recess of Grannie and her door welcoming the mummers 9"h 4"w 7.5"l 19h 10w 23L cm http://www.yessy.com/thomashutchings/mummers.html
