Mexica (Azca14)
This black line drawing with some painted details shows a Mexica warrior in battle. It is included here for the purpose of making iconographic comparisons. This man (who would be a Mexicatl, in the singular) wears sandals and a loincloth. In his right hand, he holds a wooden club with embedded obsidian blades (macuahuitl). In his left hand, he holds a circular shield with a red border and a mesh pattern in the middle.

The gloss has an intrusive “n” at the end of Mexica, but it must be a plural; otherwise, the gloss should say Mexicatl.
