[to]maban en las guerras les cortaban las cabezas, y dexando los cuerpos se las llevaban y las ponían con sus cabellos en algún palo, puestas en orden, en señal de victoria. Éstos andan bien vestidos, y sus ropas y mantas muy polidas y curiosas, con lindas labores, porque en su tierra hacen las mantas que llaman centzontilmatli, centzoncuachtli, que quiere decir "mantas de mil colores y diferencias". De allá se traen las mantas que llaman coaxayacayo, que son unas mantas que tienen unas cabezas de mostros pintadas, y las que dice ixnextlacuilolli, pintadas de remolinos de agua enxeridos unos con otros, en las cuales y en otras muchas se esmeraban las texedoras. Tienen muchas joyas, esmeraldas y turquesas finas, y todo género de piedras preciosas. Las mujeres se galanean mucho, y pónense bien sus trajes. Andan muy bien vestidas; traen sus trenzas en la cabeza, con que se tocan de colores diferentes y retorcidos con pluma.
\nLos defectos de los guastecos son: que los hombres no traen maxtles con qué cubrir sus vergüenzas, aunque entre ellos hay gran cantidad de ropa. Traen las narices agujeradas y con hojas de palma las ensanchaban, y en el agujero dellas ponían un cañuto de oro, y dentro del cañuto atravesaban un plumaje colorado,

In Clark, op. cit., II, pp. 109, 122, the translations are “mantle” and “large cotton mantle.” There is evidence that quachtli was also a measure of cloth used as a medium of exchange.
