Hernández depicts the peyote flower on the mask's forehead; the cheeks glow with images of the sun god. Two terukas scurry from the chin; these scorpions guard the maize. He celebrates Huichol custom with this mask as he finds inspiration in the psychedelic effects of jicurí ('peyote flower'). Ingested only for ceremonial purposes, jicurí is regarded as a sacred flower for it allows a person to see and communicate with the gods.
