The phrase which completes the fragment is dried pig's bladder.

Vejigante is the name of the main character in the Ponce and Loiza carnivals in Puerto Rico. This tradition has medieval origins in Spain, but in Puerto Rico, the Taino Indians and African slaves assigned it a new meaning.

The vejigantes are characters that are characterized by

  • Their colorful masks made of paper-mâché or coconut shells.
  • Their colorful costume

The name vejigante is the result of the sum of the word bladder (vejiga in spanish) and giant (gigante in spanish) because at the beginning of this tradition, a dried pig bladder was painted in colors and used to hit people on the head.

According to the above, the correct answer is dried pig's bladder.
