The rug which was spread in front of the song priest was composed of two
blankets whose edges met, and upon this rug there were two lines of masks
running north and south; the tops of the masks were to the east. There
were sixteen masks; those representing the gods cover the head, and those
representing goddesses cover the face only. They were decorated with
ribbons, plumes, etc. During the forenoon prayers were said over them and
meal sprinkled upon them.
