One of 23 figures grouped as a troop of ritual dancers. This example is shown with outstretched arms. The proper right hand holds a "fan," the left hand, a rattle or bundle. The performer's headdress is accentuated by two large "satellite dish" shaped plumes of feathers. The mask shows the snout and eyes of a fish set in the center of a solar disk. Two long hair locks cover the chest. See also 1999.184.13.
