[edit]DescriptionBodl Arch.Selden.A.1 roll113D frame67.jpg |
English: Folio 65r from the w:en:Codex Mendoza. The first two rows depict six stages in the career of a successful priest-warrior (calmecac), similarly earned through captives and marked by gradations of costume and equipment. The priest-warriors are distinguished from the others by their blood-smears and hairstyles. (1) (left) A one-captive priest-warrior: undecorated quilted cotton armour, unembellished shield, obsidian-studded club; (middle) a two-captive priest-warrior: undecorated white feather suit with back device, and ihuiteteyo shield decorated with eight balls of down, obsidian-studded club; (right) a three-captive priest-warrior: undecorated green feather suit with a pamitl-style back device, pointed war stick, and (as entitled from this rank upwards) sandals. (2) (left) A four-captive priest-warrior: a costume of white circular spots on a black background, perhaps representing the night sky, with pointed hat, and a shield with a volute design; (middle) a five-captive priest-warrior: undecorated red feather suit with momoyactli back device, quauhtetepoyo (eagle-foot) design, obsidian-edged club; (right) a six-captive priest-warrior: coyote costume with matching animal-head helmet, cuexyo shield, war stick (the captive is recognizable from his curved labret and red headband as from the city-state of Huexotzinco). The remaining two rows of this page comprise two sets of imperial officers, with their titles (but the distinction between telpochcalli and calmecac training is no longer clear): (3) Constables: four officers connected with death sentences and executions: 'Eagle Cactus Fruit', executing criminals in the marketplace; 'Keeper of the House of Darkness'; 'Keeper on the Edge of the Water'; 'Raining Blood'. (4) Generals, each wearing the prestigious quetzallalpiloni hair ornament: 'Keeper of the House of Darts'; 'Keeper of the Mirrored Snake'; 'Keeper of the Bowl of Fatigue'; 'Keeper of the Worm on Blade of Maize'.
