Keca
(Plate XV)
The figure of Keca, the Kite, has two parallel black marks on each side of the face, not unlike the facial symbols of the war god, Püükoñ hoya. The body is white with black spots representing feathers, but the forearms and legs are painted yellow. The wings are imitated by a row of feathers tied to the arms, and the tail by feathers attached to the breechclout. Keca holds in his left hand a hare and in his right a rabbit.
Pawik[1]
(Plate XVI)
Totca, the Humming Bird, has a globular head painted blue, with long pointed beak. The dorsal part of the body is colored green, the ventral yellow. The rows of feathers down the arms are wings, by a movement of which the flight of a bird is imitated.
Monwû and Koyimsi
(Plate XVI)
This personation of the Owl has a helmet with rows of parallel yellow, green, red, and black crescents, and a prominent hooked beak. He wears a rabbit skin blanket tied by an embroidered sash, and holds a bow and arrows in one hand and a rattle in the other. The figure is accompanied by a clown who has a feather in each hand.
