Scope note
In postclassic central Mexico, conical headdresses commonly integrated into the Cuextecatl (Huastec) warrior costume. These were worn by the deity Quetzalcoatl. In colonial sources, it is described by the conquistadors as a miter. This term is also occasionally applied in colonial sources to the xiuhuitzolli, or turquoise diadem.
