Spirit of Carnival

Here is shown the Spirit of Carnival, in an allegorical engraving of the time.

It brings the idea of renovation, with several symbolic elements:

• music on his dress
• food and drinks on his dress
• the wild horse (sexuality?)
• the planted seeds (or it's money pouring out of the guy's wallet?)
• the Moon on the hat (night time, all day long?)
• the flowers (gallant time of the year)
• the expressionless white face, the "volto" mask: Carnival.

This is all my interpretation, since I didn't find anything further about it, but I liked the image.
