ixtli (Mdz21v)

We see a man's head, but the eyes and face (ixtli) is covered with a trapezoid shaped white covering, inadvertently calling attention to it. That this person is male derives from his haircut and hair style. If uncovered, this could be a three-quarters view of the face or even a frontal view, something rare. But perhaps because it is covered, and in order to show how the quemitl was worn on the face, the perspective is frontal.
We cannot tell if the quemitl would be paper or cloth. Both are possibilities, for both had ritual uses, as the quemitl was a ritual garment.
