Sardinian Carnival Masks Rio Night Parade in at a festival street procession in Rio de Janeiro

Sardinian Carnival Masks Rio Night Parade

by Doris Schwartz

Silver rain-slicked pavement reflects the low-hanging winter clouds above a symmetrical street procession in Rio de Janeiro. Traditional wooden masks from Sardinia, carved with deep grooves and weathered grain, line a narrow avenue. Participants in dark, heavy coats stand motionless, their faces obscured by the distinct, pale features of the masks. The scene is lit by the cool, diffuse glow of streetlamps filtering through the mist. Water droplets bead on the rough wood surfaces and the wet asphalt. One mask, positioned dead center, stares straight ahead, its painted eyes catching the faint ambient light against the gray urban backdrop.
