mitl (Mdz66r)

This example of iconography shows an arrow, what we are labeling mitl here, even though it is not glossed as such. This detail comes from a scene where a servant of a cacique (an Indigenous elite male, a word from Taíno) is hunting with a bow and arrow. The arrow is a terracotta or tan color, which may suggest wood instead of the yellow of the acatl. It has what may be a sharp, black, obsidian point. It is difficult to tell if it has feather decorations.
