Mixtec symbols
I love Mixtec codices. They are so lovely, so magical, like mushroom-inspired. I wish I could better understand their meaning, and also the individual symbols they depict. Maybe someone can help me?
Look at the first image (it's from the codex Laud), at the man at the bottom left. I suppose he is holding a sling. But what are those red things protruding from his arms? Are they feathers? Then why are they perpendicular to his arms?
Is there a photo of a collar similar to one he is wearing? I wonder what's the material of both the blue and the yellow things.
Now please look at the second image. What is the object at the top right? I assume, there is an incense burner at the top of it. How did it actually look?
