Anotations

Scope note:

A body-encasing costume in the form of a jaguar with a quetzal-feather crest on the head. Worn by prestigious Mexica warriors of postclassic central Mexico. They are depicted in both Native and colonial documents in a variety of colors, indicating that they were likely constructed out of feathers as well as actual jaguar pelts.
