Note: Peabody fig. 82a (North Wall) The outermost standing figures are nearly identical and wear white tasseled kilts with red and black borders, narrow belts with tassels, fringed arm and leg bands, a necklace, and perhaps a mantle over the shoulders. The faces seem to be masked, and each carries a cloud-blower in his mouth, and a large and resplendent parrot in his hand. A feather headdress completes the regalia, and above the head arches a rainbow from which dangle variegated feathers and an imitation eagle’s egg. The corresponding figures on the opposite sides are incomplete but were probably much the same. The corn ears are in the conventional form with the usual crests, and one at least is being struck by lightning.
