The other terminates in what resembles a triple turret, squarely notched.

This is painted green, and decorated with symbolic figures in red and yellow.

White feathers flutter from each of the three turret-shaped projections, and this peculiar headgear is held in place by strips of buckskin attached to the squared end, and knotted about meshes of the dark, streaming hair.
The faces of both sexes are generously daubed with white clay, in addition to which the men have their naked chests, upper arms, and hands also decorated with stripes and blotches of the same substance.
The procession is a long one; couple follows couple, the men gravely stamping, the women gracefully tripping.

At the head are the tallest and most robust youths, the best developed and most buxom girls.

Following these, the dancers are less and less carefully assorted and matched, while boys and old women, little girls and old men, bring up the rear.
As the last couple emerges, the chorus bursts out in full force, the choristers themselves issuing from the dark passage-way.
