"Slim": the incised iconography on the right arm. (a) The frontal-facing zoomorph incised on the back of the right hand (drawing by Gillett G. Griffin, 1985). (b) The arcing, bound, and sacrificed captive figure incised on the right arm (drawing by Gillett G. Griffin, 1985). Note the head drawn with a "whip-lash" line above the feet and the element that resembles a tail emerging from the feet. (c) The pelt worn by the "Blind Shaman of Atlihuayan" (drawing from Joralemon 1976: fig. 4a). Note the resemblance of the layered tail of this pelt to the tail emerging from the feet of the bound captive that arcs along "Slim's" right arm.
