namiqui (Azca17)
In this example of iconography, the viewer sees two seated men, facing each other. The gloss states that they met (monamique). One (a Xochimilcatl) clearly wears a knotted cape draped over his knees and a diadem with a segmented border and a red tie on his head. The other (a Colhua) may wear a cape draped over his knees, but he does not wear a diadem. Each man emits two speech scrolls that underline how their meeting involved a discussion or negotiation. The context suggests a time of conflict. The Xochimilcatl has a compound personal name glyph that seems to combine water (atl) with a round object.
