# tlacatecatl mexica tenochtitlan originalcharacter náhuatl

A chimalli shield seen in our series. Described in the Florentine Codex as part of Mexica diplomatic protocols, giving lavish gifts to foreign ambassadors. Cortes had falsely claimed to be officially sent by Charles V. That lie deeply influenced how the Mexica dealt with them. https://t.co/1qxmBdnNCE

There are detailed lore about these, but I can't translate all that in English.

The Chimalli or “shield” bore symbols & insignias showing the rank of the warrior. The best fighters & leaders had prestigious shields, like this one, covered with feather mosaics. It is one of only four still in existence. Codex Mendoza (right) shows whole warrior´s garments.
