Zwarte Piet Zwarte Piet (] ; English: Black Pete or Black Peter, Luxembourgish: "Schwaarze Péiter", Indonesian: "Pit Hitam" ) is the companion of Saint Nicholas (Dutch: "Sinterklaas" , Luxembourgish: "Kleeschen" , Indonesian: "Sinterklas" ) in the folklore of the Low Countries. The character first appeared in an 1850 book by Amsterdam schoolteacher Jan Schenkman, and is commonly depicted as a blackamoor. Traditionally, Zwarte Piet is said to be black because he is a Moor from Spain. Those portraying Zwarte Piet typically put on make-up and colourful Renaissance attire, in addition to curly wigs, red lipstick, and earrings. In recent years, the character has become the subject of controversy, especially in the Netherlands.
