The elite Maya surrounded themselves with luxury goods. This chief wears an elaborate hairdo, headband, ear spools, and shell necklace. His face shows signs of tattooing and his head has been reshaped when he was just born. The modified head with sloping forehead represents the end of elote, maize, or corn and the long flowing hair the corn silk.
