Costume Design for 'Montezuma'
Charles de Sousy Ricketts R.A. 1866 - 1931
Summary
A male figure with long dark hair and bare feet wearing aztec style drapes with a bold black and white geometric pattern which hang from his right shoulder and trail on the ground to the right. Adorned with jewels; bracelets around the upper and lower arm, anklets, rings, necklaces, earrings and gold coloured jewelled crown. Struck by a bow to the midriff, blood seeps from the wound through his finger tips and down his body staining his clothing. No background detail. Figure turned to face left.
