He wears the silver cross, the badge of the prayer leader. It is suspended from a necklace of mescal beans and shell. His regalia consists of a red and blue blanket, trimmed with ribbon work. The red is always worn on the left and stands for the sky and daylight. The right side, blue, symbolizes the earth and night. He holds the ceremonial eagle tail fan, its handle decorated with intricate bead designs, as are the deerskin leggings. The otter skin bandeau is the mark of a tribal leader.
