A 'Mari Lwyd' (Thomas Evans, Llangynwyd, Wales, 1904-10).
This strange Welsh custom involves a horse skull being held on a stick, with a sheet hanging down, to create a sort of hobby-horse. A person stands inside. The horse then goes wassailing (an old form of carol singing). The person visited traditionally refuses the horse entry, before giving in and letting it and its companions inside to have food.
The origins, and even the meaning of the name, remain a mystery.

The notable ones include -
-The execution of Robert Blum in 1848, marking the beginning of the end of the 1848-49 German Revolutions.
-Proclamation of the end of the monarchy, 1918.
-The attempted Beer Hall Putsch of the Nazis, 1923, the failure of which would lead Hitler to aim for a democratic victory.
-The antisemetic pogrom Kristallnacht, 1938, that many see as the start of the Holocaust.
-The fall of the Berlin Wall, 1989.
