Today's folk monster: Dullahan, the headlesss rider of Ireland whose visage portends death

I thought i knew a fair amount of folklore but I'd never heard of a Dullhan until I watched the anime "Interviews with Monster Girls" 😆

In some versions his whip is said to be a human spine. (It's also my daughter's second favorite irish fairy behind the butter sprite.)

Love it. He's such a snazzy dresser too.

I like the silhoutte of the head.

That horse looks familiar...

I really like the disembodied eyes. Makes him really eerie.

The coach in Darby O'Gill and the Little People properly terrorized me when I was a kid. Nightmares for years.

Oh I love this

Gorgeous piece, and I'll always love a green and (dun) gold
