Nota de aplicación

A postclassic Nahua garment design, literally of "eyes on the edge." It was composed with white circles on a black background in a band at the hem. As a prestigious design added to capes, it was typically worn by tlahtohqueh (rulers) and pipiltin (high ranking noble men), and occasionally appeared on women's colthing. The design may also be correlated with the deity Tezcatlipoca.
