An Ankoù.

Halloween Shop-Windows. 3.

Personnage incontournable des contes et légendes bretonnes, l’Ankou est le serviteur de la Mort. Hommes et femmes se figent d’effroi lorsqu’au coeur de la nuit ils entendent le grincement des essieux de la charrette sur laquelle il se tient, armé d’une faux : c’est que l’Ankou vient alors faucher leur vie !


Inescapable character of the tales and the Breton legends, the Ankou is the servant of the Death. Men and women congeal of dismay when at dead of night they hear the grating of the axles of the cart on which he stood, armed with a scythe : it is that Ankou then comes to mow their life !

a Breton version of the Grim Reaper then....certainly a spectral figure to inspire fear, particularly with those long fingers....fine shot..
