quetzalecacehuaztli, y con unas bandas de oro que subían con las plumas. Usaban también traer en la mano izquierda unos braceletes de turquesas muy buenas, sin plumaje ninguno. Traían un collar de oro hecho de cuentas de oro, y entrepuestos unos caracolitos mariscos, entre cada dos cuentas uno. También usaban traer collares de oro, hechos a manera deslabones de víboras. También usaban los señores en el areito traer flores en la mano, juntamente con una caña de humo que iban chupando. Tenían también un espejo en que se miraba cuando se componían, y después de compuesto mirábase bien al espejo, y luego le daba a un paje que le guardase. Traían también unas cotaras, los calcaños de las cuales eran de cuero de tigre, y las suelas de cuero de ciervo hecho muchas dobleces y cosido, con pinturas. Usaban de atambor y de tamboril. El atambor era alto, como hasta la cinta, de la manera de los de España en la cubertura. Era el tamboril de madero hueco, tan grueso como un cuerpo de un hombre, y tan largo como tres palmos, unos poco más y otros poco menos, muy pintados. Este atambor y tamboril agora lo usan de la misma manera. Usaban también unas sonajas de oro, y las mesmas agora usan de palo. Y usaban de unas conchas de tortuga hechas de oro, en que iban tañendo. Y agora las usan naturales de la mesma tortuga. También usaban de carátulas o máscaras labradas de musaico, y de cabelleras, como las usan agora, y unos penachos de oro que salían de las carátulas.
