“The headdresses worn by Mayan kings, lords, and warriors were among the most elaborate status symbols ever devised. Concocted of exotic items [taken] from around the region—including parrot and macaw feathers, jaguar pelts, seashells, and jade—they told of men who received reverent tribute from those who depended on their [ability]. Indeed, the headdresses of commanding figures often bore the features of a god, from whose gaping mouth the mortal’s face would emerge. Such crowns reflected the Mayan conviction that on ceremonial occasions their leaders became one with the gods.”
