Worry doll.

"If you have a problem, then share it with a worry doll. Before going to bed, tell one worry to each doll, then place them beneath your pillow.
Whilst you sleep, the dolls will take your worries away!"

The masks are the centerpiece of the Boruca's Little Devil's Game, and their designs are striking, if not frightening. Many feature elaborate renditions of grotesque faces, exaggerated fangs and horns, moustaches and beards made of horse hair. Some look like owls, others monkeys. Originally, the masks remained unpainted, colored only with achiote (a natural dye) or burned. With the advent of tourism in the area, some locals have begun to paint their masks in spectacularly elaborate motifs inspired by their natural environment, which has added another industry to this predominately agricultural region: handicrafts.

Every year members of the Boruca indigenous people prepare for the village's biggest festival: the Devils' Game. Here, members enact an elaborate ceremony that harkens back to the days of the Spanish Conquest.
The ceremony interprets the struggle between the conquistadores and the indigenous residents of the area. Read more about his tradition here www.ticotimes.net/More-news/Top-Story/News/Little-Devils-Game-honors-Boruca-past_Friday-January-06-2012/ Photo by Andres Madrigal

While some Latin American countries celebrated October 12 as Columbus Day or Day of America’s Discovery, celebrates not Europe’s arrival in the New World but rather “Day of the Cultures.” The Tico version of the holiday recognizes the contributions of the many different peoples who have contributed to Costa Rica’s varied culture today.
