toda labrada de turquesas, con unas bandas de piedras que se llaman chalchihuites, atravesadas por la cara. Era muy hermosa esta máscara, y resplandeciente. Poníanle una corona, que la llamaban quetzalcómitl. Era hecha de plumas ricas; era angosta, conforme al redondo de la cabeza en lo de abaxo; pero íbase ensanchando hacia arriba. Estaban las plumas arriba muy paradas, bien así como un clavel que está enredado de cañas y arriba están parradas todas las flores, por encima de las cañas. Lleva también esta corona dos plumajes: uno de la parte izquierda y otro de la parte derecha, que salen de junto a las sienes a manera de cuernos inclinados hacia delante. En el remate dellos van muchas plumas ricas que llaman quetzalli, que salen de unos vasos hechos a manera de xícara chiquita. Estos dos plumajes o cuernos se llamaban cuammalitli. Llevaba esta corona cosida por la parte trasera y baxa, y una cabellera de cabellos rubios que colgaba sobre las espaldas. Eran estos cabellos cercenados por la parte de abaxo, muy iguales. Parecía que estos cabellos salían debaxo la corona, y que eran naturales.
\nPonían a esta estatua un ornamento de plumas muy ricas, plegado al cuello, tan ancho como todos los pechos, que descendía hasta
