Wrinkle Face
The World of the Ancestors was dominated by a supernatural being that scholars name “Wrinkle Face” because his face is wrinkled like an old man’s. He is an ancestor or god invested with enormous power and endowed with great sexual energy. In his hands, “Wrinkle Face” carries agricultural products or an ax and the head of a prisoner, and at times he appears seated on a throne. From this individual, the deceased Ruler obtained the power that brought him back to life.
