Il dio Maimoni era rappresentato da un uomo vestito di scuro, ricoperto di pelli, con la schiena carica di campanacci tenuti mediante una sorta di imbragatura fatta con una corda e con in mano uno spiedo. In faccia portava una maschera fatta di pelle ovina conciata oppure sa facciola, una maschera facciale di stoffa, che nel suo caso era ricoperta di lana ovina ed era spesso munito di corna di capra (un'ipostasi di Dioniso per l'appunto). Su Maimoni si aggirava per le vie del paese scuotendo i campanacci, avventandosi su chiunque e rotolandosi per terra come indemoniato (da molti questa maschera è ora considerata il diavolo); era seguito da un corteo di Stramaionis, due dei quali lo tenevano legato con delle corde. Gli Stramaionis erano vestiti di stracci scuri, avevano la faccia tinta di nero con un impasto di fuliggine e olio oppure nascosta da sa facciola; spesso portavano a tracolla una fune con alcuni campanacci, e in mano tenevano bastoni e maccioccas con le quali tentavano di domare il dio furente anche perquotendolo. Il termine Stramaioni è rimasto in paese anche come sinonimo di pazzo e straccione. Un'altra particolare figura che faceva parte del corteo di Giobia Lardaiolu era sa Grastula. Secondo Dolores Turchi è probabile che Grastula sia una corruzione di Crateide, nome con il quale Omero chiama le M?ire quando le riassume in un'unica figura Si trattava di un uomo vestito di scuro e mascherato da vedova con degli stracci. Aveva in viso sa facciola, anch'essa scura, e filava con fuso e conocchia in maniera maldestra, tentando di colpire le ragazze che incontrava per strada (è rimasto il detto "filas comenti una grastula"). Il corteo si fermava nelle case (ad eccezione di quelle colpite da un lutto recente)

well with the traditions and individual masks, as we have already 'discussed-
if you have, you also enter a contextualization of the place, of a whole, in order to "get" more 'in the scene.
