This funerary bundle, opened on April 12, 1956, by Dr. Arturo Jiménez Borja, contained a unique feathered mantle measuring 1.60 by 0.80 meters. It comprises two joined cloths: one with eight rows of yellow feathers, and the other with alternating bands of purple feathers and silver circular plates, culminating in a band of black, yellow, blue, and white feathers.
