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.
