Mummer Mask: St.Leonards Dragon Sussex

By  Danny Manning 2018
A series of willow head masks exploring ritual, dance, celebration and the turn of the seasons. The St. Leonards Dragon was apparently repeatedly sighted in a wood near Horsham in 1614 described in the following brief pamphlet: 'A True and Wonderful Discourse relating a strange and monstrous Serpent ( or Dragon ) lately discovered , and yet living, to the great Annoyance and divers Slaughters of both Men and Cattell, by his strong and violent poison: in Sussex, two Miles from Horsam, in a Woode called St Leonard's Forrest, and thirties Miles from London, this present Month of August, 1614, With the true Generation of Serpents.'
