Huitzilmacuex (MH522r)

The name in full would be Hummingbird Bracelet. It may have a non-literal meaning, of course. As the example of a hummingbird (below) shows, the color red is not usually prominent in their depictions, at least in the Codex Mendoza. Of course, the hummingbird could have some pink or red feathers, and these may have been prized for use in jewelry, such as this bracelet. In this collection, necklaces are more common than bracelets.

At least two men have names that involve bracelets, as shown in this collection, and there may be more to come. The wearing of bracelets may have been gendered toward males, in fact. But Alonso de Molina suggests that bracelets were originally made for dolls, as shown in the Online Nahuatl Dictionary (see the link to macuextli in this record). But did dolls have the same significance as in Western culture? The word for doll is the same as the word for an image of a divine force, nenetl (https://nahuatl.wired-humanities.org/content/nenetl).
