Neali' ka, with mountain lions
According to mythology, Huichol warriors carried two shields: a round one in front of the body as protection or armour, and one on the back. The front shield (?) could also represent a face or an aspect of a person or a god. The back shield was also the warrior's bed. Images of these shields are still used as offerings today.
