This iconographic example, featuring the hairstyle of the “shorn ones,” a group of warriors, 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 two men standing in a profile view, facing right. They wear white capes tied over the shoulder. The folds of the capes are set off by a purple shading, giving them three-dimensionality, showing European artistic style influences. Their hair is partly shaved and growing back, but it also maybe standing up in part like a mohawk, and it grows long down their backs. Red ties hold their hair together at the back of the neck.
