"Lee-enseeyo performing the ceremony to ensure that the cane juice will ferment well."
Supplemental note: "He wore a long, flowing loincloth beautifully painted with geometrical designs. The jaguar claw headdress, which came down to the small of his back, was trimmed with an abundance of parrot and macaw feathers. The animal-teeth necklace he was wearing had one very large jaguar fang besides the usual alligator teeth, wild boar tusks and giant ant-eater claws. A large jaguar-skin medicine bag hanging at his side and the magic rattle in his right hand completed his ceremonial garb." (p. 134.)
