His name is Bird Man. He belongs to a primitive tribe that leads a nomadic life around ancient Europe. The markings on his face, feathers on his head, and heavy brown cape indicate that, like a bird of prey, his role is to hunt for the tribe.

Photographed at the 2014 Zinneke parade event in Brussels, Belgium. The image was retouched and a blended texture was added to achieve a painterly effect. (May 2014)
