Figure of Bosnian folk tales and mythology. The Barefaced Man, ćosa or ćosav, is a wily and artful figure, and, often as a portent of evil, someone to be avoided. There is an Bosnians saying „May God protect you from bearded women and barefaced men“. In Bosnian folk tales, the Barefaced Man, i.e. a man without a moustache, appears as a cunning devil not to be trusted at all.
