SINTERKLAAS AND ZWARTE PIET OVEN MITTS

The Netherlands EA/NL/0031

Understandably you have no clue what you are looking at right now. These two comrades have been together ever since the Dutch tradition of Sint Nicolas and Black Pete was invented at the end of the 19th century. After the ebb and flow of protests, since as early as the 1930’s, the roots of this tradition are seriously questioned and so these two might as well hop to the nearest museum as we speak. These potholders are to be held at the heads by the way. At your own risk.
