Many meetings, confrontations, and audiences take place in palace settings. These can take place in the mythological world as well as in the real world. An attendant with a litter and a trumpet waits to be called. He sits in front of a large cushion, on a throne or bench covered with a mat. A seated lord confers with a visitor wearing a skeletal deer headdress.
Musicians play long wooden trumpets with bladders attached to enhance the sound.
A ruler confers with visitors who have brought bundles of textiles, sacks of beans, and a cone of salt. Women sit behind a screen as the lord addresses the visiting group. It has been suggested that a marriage negotiation is taking place.
