In Toxcatl, when the human image, the ixiptla of Tezcatlipoca died, his severed head was placed on the skull rack, Tzompantli. And at the same time, the dough image, the ixiptla of Huitzilopochtli, was made at the Temple of Huitznahuac in the capulco Huitznahuac, and laid on the coatlapechtli, the serpent bench. From Huitznahuac, the image was carried on the serpent bench to the Great Temple, Coatepetl, by women : "And the women, the maidens painted their faces; they pasted themselves with red feathers." "As thick as tassels of maize were their popcorn garlands. And these they went placing on their heads. They were painted. And to the thickness of their thighs reached where they were pasted with feathers; and it reached up to their shoulders."
