they are the Boes (bulls), the Merdules and Sa Filonzana (weaver), also in this case the masks have pre-roman and pre-christian origin.
The boes is the bull, an animal worshiped since prehistory in Sardinia, each mask shows in the forehead the symbol of Flower of Life, it revolts against the Merdule that is the bull's owner and it's depicted as a deformed face, while Sa Filonzana is a sad old woman who spins the wool, the wool yarn represents the fragility of earthly life.
