The Littlest Obby Oss – Pen Munys – 13th Pressing
This mini print depicts a mast beast obby oss. This one is called PenMunys, or Tiny Head in Cornish. Cornwall, like Wales, also has a tradition around festivities, documented in Cornish Christmas Guise plays of including an obby oss character, constructed as a mast beast with an articulated horses skull on top. The Cornish oss typically has a dress of tatters and appear very often are very tall, dance and run at speed, and are full of mischief. They are accompanied by a teazer who does their best to keep them under control, for everyone’s safety, but anything not nailed down or tightly fastened may find itself a tasty morsel of these beasts.

Dr Theobald the Scourger –
I am very inspired by the look of the plague doctor. So much so in fact I also make masks, and part of Montol involves groups of similarly dressed people in guilds roaming the streets of Penzance on the 21st December every year and entertaining people at the various pubs they stop in. I have made a guild of quack doctors who play music, and add comedy to the evening, with out dated and terrifying cures and questionable sick notes for those who wish to stay in bed the following day. We also have a guise beast called Ratael, a sort of mutant plague-ridden Obby Oss in the form of a rat.
All except two of the members of the guild are called Dr. Theobald, and this fellow beats the demons and illness out of patients, upon his robes are embroidered leeches, a quacks favoured company. He is just about to set to his evening business, and there will be a lot of people in need of his services tonight, as a meteor has foretold him of this news.
*Disclaimer* This was designed circa 2015, but apparently foretold some events in 2020

Stringerarts Mari Lwyd Christmas Card (Pack of 5)
Say something a little different this Christmas, with the Mari Lwyd. Interior says ‘Nadolig Llawen’ (Merry Christmas in Welsh). Pack of 5 cards (£2.40 per card) with kraft brown envelopes.
The Mari Lwyd is a wassailing folk custom found in South Wales. The tradition entails the use of a hobby horse made from a horse’s skull mounted on a pole, carried by an individual hidden under a sackcloth.
The Mari Lwyd is carried to local houses, where they request entry through song. The householders attempt to deny them entry, again through song, and the two sides would continue their responses to one another in this manner.
If the householders eventually relented, the team are permitted entry and given food and drink.
