copilli (FCbk8f34r)

This iconographic example, featuring a warrior wearing a conical hat (copilli), is included in this digital collection for the purpose of making potential comparisons with related hieroglyphs. The term selected for this example comes from the keywords chosen by the team behind the Digital Florentine Codex. There is no gloss. This example shows a warrior wearing an orange animal hide, carrying a red, blue, and white war shield, and a weapon (the macuahuitl). The round shield has a red border and the main part is painted turquoise blue with six round white dots (a sky with stars?). The weapon, a club, has four pairs of obsidian blades embedded in it. The warrior is confronting a group of other warriors, as the contextualizing image shows. The hat is the element of focus here. It is sitting upright on his head. It has two swirling dark gray or black lines, possibly representing the sky, as these may contain white stars. A white band at the bottom of the cone encircles his forehead and beyond. The contextualizing image also includes another conical hat, that one having swirling stripes of blue with black dots on them.
