An Irish fair crowns a goat as its king
At Killorglin’s Puck Fair in Ireland, a goat is crowned King Puck. The animal becomes a symbol of the festivities rather than a person playing a royal character. Stories about the fair’s origins exist, but its beginnings are not certain.
The crowned figure has hooves.
