The "Christmas Goat Mask" is a masterpiece by Tetyana Fedosenko, handcrafted and painted in bright colors. The idea of it was born under the impression of the masks made by folk naïve painter Ivan Prykhodko, whose works Fedosenko discovered at the Ivan Honchar Museum in Kyiv. The Goat (Kozá) is one of the most ancient symbols of Ukrainian winter holidays. In folk beliefs, it embodies vitality, prosperity, and the fertility of the land. It's a key figure of the traditional Christmas rite of "Goat play" (vodinnya kozy), where carolers would visit homes, wishing the hosts happiness, harvest, and abundance. In various regions of Ukraine, this rite was performed on Malanka (New Year's Eve), on Shchedry Vechir (Epiphany Eve), symbolizing the renewal of nature and the awakening of the creative energy of the lineage.
