Es mujer, y por eso la pintan como mujer. Y a ésta atribuían los afeites de las mujeres. Para significación desto, la pintan en la mano derecha con un báculo que le llaman macpaltopilli, y en la mano izquierda la ponen una rodela, en la cual está pintado un pie. También la ponían orejeras de oro, y en las narices le colgaban de la ternilla una mariposa de oro, y vestíanla con un huipil o camisa mujeril, que era texida de blanco y colorado; lo mismo las naoas. Poníanle unas cotaras, también coloradas, con unas pinturas que las hacían almenadas. A todos estos cuatro daban sus imagines o sustitutos para que muriesen a su servicio el día de su fiesta. Al que llamaban Nahualpilli ataviábanle y cortábanle los cabellos como a cuextécatl, desiguales y mal cortados, y espelucados y crenchados. Poníanle en la frente una lámina de oro, delgada como papel. Poníanle unos zarcillos de oro en las orejas. Poníanle en la mano un báculo aderezado con plumas ricas, y en la otra mano una rodela, como de red hecha, y en cuatro partes tenía plumas ricas, mal puestas. También le vestían una xaqueta texida de blanco y colorado, con
