Pl. XXIX. SoYAL Altars, Etc. 



The Soyal altars, screen, Star priest and Pookon, as reproduced in the 

 Field Columbian Museum. The illustration shows the Star priest in the act of 

 twirling the sun symbol, which is probably the climax of the whole ceremony. 

 During this performance he is sprinkled with sacred water from a medicine bowl 

 by the Pookon (war god), who is represented by the Kalehtaka, Koyonainiwa, the 

 leader of the war ceremonies.
