| Cuicalli: there were the masters of the youths and the rulers of the youths, established in order to oversee what was by way of work. And every day, when the sun had already set, they turned their attention to dances. They went quite naked. So they went to the house of songs; so they danced with song, proceeding with, about their necks, only a cape made like a net. They set in place and proceeded with their forked heron feather ornaments and the red cord with which they bound their hair; and their turquoise ear plugs and sea shell lip pendants." Florentine Codex Book VIII (Kings and Lords) Fig. 69: musicians |
