										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>ENGLISH</strong><br />
Witch sorceress mask from the Carnival of Tyrol in Austria, carved from hand-carved wood, presents a terrifying aspect with oval eyes of penetrating gaze, partially toothless mouth, pointed nose, and numerous wrinkles.</p>
<p>Alpine traditions are closely related to the figure of the witch, who embodies winter in its most terrible, diabolical, and evil aspect. Their attempts to clean the spectators&#8217; shoes with a broom during the carnival parade are an attempt to put on a brave face in bad weather.</p>
<p>Good against evil, day against night, light against darkness, heat against cold. These antagonistic concepts are represented every year in the Tyrolean Carnival, which is celebrated from January 6th until Ash Wednesday. With lots of noise, terrifying masks called &#8220;&#8221;Larven,&#8221;&#8221; and different dances, the end of the long winter is invoked.</p>

 Máscara de bruja hechicera del Carnaval de Tirol en Austria, esculpida en madera tallada a mano, presenta un aspecto aterrador con ojos ovalados de mirada penetrante, boca parcialmente desdentada, nariz puntiaguda y numerosas arrugas.</p>
<p>Las tradiciones alpinas están estrechamente relacionadas con la figura de la bruja, quienes encarnan el invierno en su aspecto más terrible, diabólico y malvado. Sus intentos de limpiar los zapatos de los espectadores con una escoba durante el desfile de carnaval son un intento de poner buena cara al mal tiempo.</p>
<p>El bien contra el mal, el día contra la noche, la luz contra la oscuridad, el calor contra el frío. Estos conceptos antagónicos se representan cada año en el Carnaval de Tirol, que se celebra desde el 6 de enero hasta el Miércoles de Ceniza. Con mucho ruido, máscaras terroríficas llamadas &#8220;&#8221;Larven&#8221;&#8221; y diferentes bailes, se invoca el fin del largo invierno.</p>
