Iconography

Exploring Iconography - Historical, cultural and geographical (Spain, Mexico, Indigenous )
conography -- giving us the Nahuatl terms for the symbols of power and authority of Nahua elite men. Note, too, the glyph for the name of Chimalpopoca, the shield (chimalli) with the puffs of smoke (standing for popoca) coming out the top. From the sixteenth-century Primeros Memoriales manuscript.
