Codex Borbonicus (aztec/mexica codex), detail, circa 1519-1540. Facsimile, Ernest Leroux Edition, 1899. Mexico National Library. To the left, Mictlantecuhtli, the god of the inferior world. From the top of the ornament on his back is emerging the head of Mitquitzli, the Death; he is wearing a headpiece made of quetzal (sacred bird) feathers. To the right, another divinity of Death: Chacalmeca. Above them, a corpse is tied up with ropes: this mummy bundle is the god of corn/maize, Centeotl. Between the two gods, the astral eye fixed on the top of a mast.
