Look at this /x/, this is a Sardinian (italy) tradition that it's said to be very ancient, thought it's origins are completely unknown.
Sardinians have always been an isolated and brave population, both the Carthaginians and the Romans couldn't tame and submit them, in particular one area of the outback of the island: the "Barbagia", and in this exact land it originated the dance of Mamuthones and Isshohadores, in the city of Mamoiada.
Mamuthones are dressed with heavy black fleeces, they have a black wood mask and a series of heavy bell attached to their back, they walk slowly and suffering, conversely the Isshohadores wear a white mask and a red jacket, they move fast around the procession of the mamuthones and sometimes they throw their lariat to the people observing or to the mamuthones.
What do you think of this tradition? What could be it's origins?

The Etruscans had mask plays and such, and often differentiated male and female in sculpture with black and white faces. You'll see this influence on the theatre masks of tragedy and comedy too.
