The Dance of Death
The main activities of these skeletal beings who reside in the World of the Dead seem to be dancing and playing music with flutes, horns and drums. The ceremony depicted was associated with trance-inducing dances and complex sounds, which facilitated contact with the divine. From this place, the Ruler sought the path to the World of the Ancestors.
