But his > renovation uncovered a series of murals that had been painted by his Ixil > Maya ancestors in the years after the Spanish conquest. Some of the paintings > depict what archaeologists Lars Frühsorge, Jarosław Źrałka, and William > Saturno believe to be a ritual called the Dance of Conquest. The people in > this painting seem to be Maya, yet wear some pieces of European clothing. The > seated figures are playing instruments while the figure on the right, wearing > a jaguar skin and cape, dances.
