Face protection

Thank you all! Jim, that is exactly what i was looking for. References of masks serving a duel purpose, spiritual and physical protection. Does it say what tribe or region the mask were worn in combat? I would see a failure as being wounded. I can see how someone wounded would feel out of favor with the spirits and need to appease them with a sacrifice. Maybe the masked warrior served more as a spirital motivator for the warriors of a tribe and did not actively engage in physical combat.
