    The kurent costume is called kurentija and weights about 40kg. It is made up of a sheepskin hat and coat, cowbells, a stick wrapped in hedgehog’s skin at one end, black boots and red or green socks. There are two types of kurenti: the ones with feathers and the ones with horns. For the former, a leather mask covered with sheepskin is decorated with turkey or goose feathers, while colourful paper ribbons and flowers are attached to horns made of straw or wood wrapped in leather. The second type has actual cow horns attached on top of the sheepskin head mask.
