Small masks and feather headdresses completed the assembly.
Basketry was also used for a variety of small masks, bird figures, and abstract forms that were attached to large turbo shells used as valuables.
Nearly all of these Mesoamerican jades are of various shades of green, with emerald green the most highly prized colour among the Aztecs; their jade carvings comprise plaques, figurines, small masks, pendants, and implements.
(There is also a photograph of the largest sculpture found in the pits, a 13-foot-high bronze tree.) Narrow, almost columnar in form, the figure has the same slightly spectral face found on the smaller masks in the vestibule, but here the head is topped by a patterned pillbox crown.
Manual placement of small masks (masking) is increasingly used to calculate plantar pressure characteristics.
The main reason for using the Sobel operator is that it is relatively insensitive to noise and it has relatively smaller masks than other operators such as the Roberts operator and the two-order Laplacian operator.
If decreased contrast discrimination thresholds with large masks are indeed associated with perceptual segmentation of Test and Large Mask components, as suggested from Expt. 2, then any elevation of thresholds, such as that previously observed with moving stimuli with small masks, might conversely result from enhanced perceptual integration of the components into a plaid pattern.
The apodization of the imaging pupil with the two smaller masks yields comparable cone counts to those resulting from the unapodized configuration, as expected from the theoretical predictions.
Nearby a slightly smaller mask with normal, if ridged, eyes presents a more delicate version of the same being.
Opposite the statue, behind a glass case, is a small mask of Rose Beuret from about 1880, the only one of her in the collection.
