In orbit inserted batted top green bottles. Now inside the skull sometimes attach bulbs. The lower jaw is mounted on a hinge and skull mouth wide open, if necessary. Sometimes the skull is decorated with colorful ribbons.

Roots rite probably go to the Iron Age. Quite possibly, Marie - the equivalent of irlanskoy goddess horse Maхи, своего рода кельтского Марса.

The Mari Lwyd (or Grey Mare in English) is a new year celebration that is associated with south-east Wales , in particular with  Glamorgan and Gwent.

During the celebration Mari Lwyd is represented by a mare's skull that is fixed to the end of a wooden pole. The white sheets, which are fastened to the base of the skull, conceal the pole and the person carrying the Mari. Historically, the eye sockets were often filled with green bottle-ends. At present electric light bulbs are sometimes fitted inside the skull. The lower jaw is sometimes spring-loaded, so that the Mari's 'operator' can snap it at passers-by. Coloured ribbons are usually fixed to the skull.

It is possible that the roots of the custom go back into the Iron Age. Mari could be the Welsh equivalent of the Irish horse goddess Macha, a sort of Celtic Mars.

Gli angeli

These angels - part of the composition in the den of Caramel Church in Atrani (near Amalfi). They are certainly very old. I it seems unlikely that they could survive more than 250 assemblies / shootouts since mid-XVIII century. Most likely - it is a copy of the late barrochnyh prototypes.

I may be wrong - They can be preserved part of the original ark. Several other figures are made in the same style, which is quite radically different from the folk реализма доминирующего в этом вертепе.

These angels form a part of the Christmas Crib in Chiesa del Carmine, Atrani (near Amalfi). There is no doubt that they are very old. I feel, however, that they could not have survived 250+ moves in and out since mid 18th century and are likely to be copies of some early Baroque prototypes. 

I can be wrong, though. They could be the remnant of the original crib. There are several other figurines that belong to the same style, which significantly differs from the folkloric realism of the rest of the crib.
