Carved Jack-o'-Lantern with Square Teeth
The wide hollowed pumpkin shows a carved face with oversized triangular eyes and a broad open mouth. Several distinct square teeth are cut directly into the rind along the upper and lower edges of the carved smile.
Origins of Carved Halloween Lanterns
The tradition of carving faces into vegetables began in Ireland with turnips and potatoes to ward off roaming autumn spirits. When Irish immigrants arrived in North America, they discovered that native pumpkins were larger, softer, and far easier to carve into glowing lanterns. Today, people hollow out the pulp and seeds before cutting facial features that illuminate when candles or electric lights are placed inside.
Traditional Colors of Carved Jack-o'-Lanterns
