key ring
Canon EOS 6D - f/16 - 0.5 sec - 100 mm - ISO 200
- This was the key ring of my late wife, bought in Venice (Italy) and always in her bag with the house key attached.
- Silver plated Venetian mask on key ring
- Portachiavi maschera veneziana in placcato argento
- Verzilverd Venetiaans masker aan sleutelhanger
Masks have always been a main feature of the Venetian carnival. Traditionally people were allowed to wear them between the festival of Santo Stefano (St. Stephen's Day, December 26) and the start of the carnival season at midnight of Shrove Tuesday. As masks were also allowed on Ascension and from October 5 to Christmas, people could spend a large portion of the year in disguise.
