One of 23 figures grouped as a troop of ritual dancers. In his outstretched hands, this figure holds two "fans". The dancer wears no shirt but a strand of large spherical beads falls to his waist. The performer's headdress consists of a crescent-shaped helmet with mask. The mask resembles a turtle's snout and face. From the crest of the headdress, three feather plumes emerge.
