Papercutting skills, the glamor of the carnival and the biggest holiday in Chinese culture come together for this mask.

This year, carnival celebrations in Brazil, New Orleans and other places neatly coincide with the start of the Year of the Horse, meaning major cultural celebrations of both holidays take place around February 17. The date is both Fat Tuesday, the peak of carnival festivities, and Spring Festival.

To mark both occasions, here is a special carnival-themed horse mask made with Chinese papercutting techniques.
