PL. XIII. The Maru Altar of the Winter Ceremony. 



The larger figurines are usually called Marau-Taka (Marau-Man), the smaller 

 Marau-Mana (Marau- Maiden). The first are put up in the winter ceremony only. 

 The two pyramid-shaped objects on each side of the altar are prepared on the 

 eighth day and worn by the two Archers and two Lancers in the public performance 

 on the last day. The cone, in front of the right side figurines, is the ka6-tukwi 

 described in the text. (Compare also explanation to PL X.)
