Iconography

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description:

This example of iconography is included here for the purpose of making comparisons with glyphs of the huehuetl and teponaztli drums. It shows how both were played by men standing. The huehuetl player (huehuetzotzonqui) uses his hands. The teponaztli player (teponazo or teponazoani) uses two drumsticks. The horizontal teponaztli here rests on a wooden structure. The huehuetl is quite tall, chest height. Another man (with a rattle?) stands nearby. All where white loincloths and white capes tied at the shoulder. The capes have a red trim.
