    Photo Description

    In Trinidad and Tobago, carnival celebrations begin after Christmas and peak during the Monday and Tuesday preceding Ash Wednesday. Costumed masqueraders and festival revelers partake in the two-day street parade, generally accompanied by soca, calypso, and steel pan music, before beginning the Lenten season. The National Museum and Art Gallery hosts a permanent ongoing exhibit of masks and costumes from past carnivals. In this image, there is a head gear labeled “King Kofricari,” a red elaborate costume, and a feathered costume featuring oxen horns and an ornately, stylized ostrich head. Slide labeled Trin. 10.
