English: Page 5 from the Codex Selden (also known as 'Codex Añute'). Manuscript on coated (deer?) skin. Shelfmark: MS. Arch. Selden. A. 2. Starting at bottom (continuation of p. 4). Band I (left to right). On the day 7 Deer of the year 12 Flint (920; three years after the dynasty is initiated in Belching Mountain), M 10 Reed 'Eagle-Fire' marries F 2 Lizard 'Venus-Red and White Band'. She is the daughter of the lords M 5 Flower 'Ballcourt' and F 5 Flower 'Mouth-Jewel-Fist with awl' of the Hill of the Flower Tree (who are represented to the right). Band II (right to left). M 10 Reed and F 2 Lizard have a son named M 3 Rain 'Tlachtli with lines'. We see him in Belching Mountain, wearing a fasting cord tied around his body and offering copal before the Xolotl bundle. He takes the copal from a bag he carries in the hand with which he also holds the incense burner. In front of him, to the left, we find the complete toponymic glyph, with all the elements, of Belching Mountain: a hill, salivating mouth, a wall from which clouds emerge, the temple with the enclosure and its ramparts, and the Xolotl bundle. The temple is very similar to the one shown on p. 4, band IV. To the left, M 3 Rain 'Tlachtli with Lines' marries F 7 Death 'Knot-Flaming Fan'. M 3 Rain wears a crwon of flowers for the marriage ceremony and, in front of him, appear a red Xicolli and an ornament of quetzal plumes, all apparently symbols of royal power. Band III (left to right). The parents of lady 7 Death 'Knot-Flaming Fan' are depicted: M 1 Serpent 'Tlachtli-Astronomic al Apparatus' and F 8 Flint 'Angle-Movement Sign', lords of the Hill of Water (on which they sit). It seems that the first dynasty of Belching Mountain terminates here, and the scene which follows on this same line relates how the second dynasty is founded in that town. The reason for this change is not given. Lady 9 Wind 'Flint Quechquemitl' makes an offering of copal in front of the temple of the Xolotl bundle in Belching Mountain, wither in order to take over the throne, or as a result of having done so. M 10 Reed and M 3 Rain had done likewise (see for instance band II on this page). Lady 9 Wind was the daughter of M 8 Wind 'Twenty Eagles' and F 10 Deer 'Tiger Quechquemitl' from Tree with White Flowers. Band IV (right to left). Lady 9 Wind 'Flint Quechquemitl', after performing the ceremony in which she offers incense to the Xolotl bundle and inaugurates the second dynasty, marries M 10 Eagle 'Stone Tiger' on the day 10 Deer of the year 3 House (89). The prince consort was the son of M 10 Flower and F 2 Serpent 'Quetzalcoatl', the second rulers of the First Dynasty of Tilantongo, who are depicted to the left of the marriage scene (but, since F 2 Serpent and F 9 Wind were sisters, M 10 Eagle 'Stone Tiger' in fact marries his maternal aunt). M 10 Eagle 'Stone Tiger' and F 9 Wind had three sons and a daughter. The first son, 1 Reed 'Tlachtli-Astronomic al Apparatus' is depicted on this band to the left. For other children, see p. 6. |
