- About Creator: "The glove I make has three parts: the head, the two hands, the rest is the clothes (...). Then there's the kneading part, then the painting part. When I finish painting, then comes the sewing process, then after I cut, then comes the sewing, then I finish the piece," said Maurício Bonequeiro [José Maurício da Silva Gomes] to researcher Raquel Dias Teixeira for the Sala do Artista Popular (SAP)/CNFCP catalog - number 176: A música é que chama os espíritos dos bonecos: mamulengos em Glória do Goitá. Maurício Bonequeiro was born in Limoeiro on May 9, 1970. He makes several pieces at once and then assembles the puppets; he also usually makes ensembles representing cultural manifestations from his region, such as a complete maracatu, which is part of his plans.
