<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2359057, member: 26302"]Yes, just like this. What is interesting is the string behind his head. This is missing on most coins of this Type. It looks like a ribbon that would be tied holding the mask on his head. To me this reinforces the notion this coin in particular was intentionally depicting some kind of priestly mask he would wear during the ceremony. Maybe it explains the horns on his head on the obverse, the horns could have been part of the mask.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
