[Tení]an asimismo cuidado de poner petates y asentadores de juncia que llaman icpales, y que hubiese allí toda limpieza y todo avío,1 de manera que ni una paja ni otra cosa estuviese caída en el templo.
\nLa imagen deste dios es como un hombre que está teñido de negro todo, así el cuerpo como la cara, salvo que la cara tiene unas pecas blancas entre lo negro. Tiene una corona de papel pintada de blanco y negro. Tiene unas borlas que cuelgan de la corona sobre las espaldas, y de las mismas borlas sale un penacho hacia el colodrillo, que tiene tres plumas verdes. Tiene ceñido unas faldetas que le llegan hasta la rodilla, con unos caracolitos mariscos y pintado de blanco y negro. Tiene las cotaras blancas, y en la mano izquierda tiene una rodela a manera de ninfa, que es una yerba de agua, ancha, como un plato grande, y en la mano derecha tiene un báculo florido. Las flores son de papel. Tiene una banda a manera de estola desde el hombro derecho, cruzada por el sobaco izquierdo, pintado de unas flores negras sobre blanco.
\nDice atavío.↩
to place petates there and reed chairs, which they call icpales, and to make sure that everything there was clean and well provided, so that not a single straw or anything else would be strewn [on the floor] of the temple.
\nThe image of this god is like a man who is painted completely black, both his body and his face, except that his face has some white spots here and there over the black. He wears a paper crown that is painted black and white. He wears some tassels that hang down from the crown onto his back, and a tuft of feathers—which has three green feathers—protrudes from these same tassels toward the back of his head. He has some short skirts fastened around him that reach down to his knees, with some small seashells painted black and white. He wears white sandals, and, in his left hand, he holds a shield in the shape of a water lily, which is a weed that grows in the water and is as wide as a large plate. In his right hand, he holds a flowering staff. The flowers are made of paper. He wears a band like a stole, going from his right shoulder and crossing under his left armpit, with some black flowers painted on white.
