What reading level is On Ancient Mexican Shields : An Essay book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
L. MS., it is held likewise by the human victim personifying Otonteguhtli.
There is another military shield of the Mendoza collection associated with represen- tations of a deity, (figs. 2a and 3a, II) being held by Yiacateouhtli , the god of merchants in both Sahagun MSS. We have seen that this shield pertained to the military rank of Quachic or Tigocyahuacatl. But the god of merchants is pictured with the manta and head dress of a warchief of the rank of Tlacateccatl , and this martial costum...e is explained by Sahagun who asserts that "the merchants were in reality captains and soldiers who established traffic in hostile regions by force of arms and strategy and also made prisoners" (book IX chaps. I to VI).
The rectangular design on his shield is termed ''xicalcoliuhqui" and such a shield, with a fringe of quetzal feathers, is named, in the tribute list published in the Lorenzana ed. of Cortes' letters, a quetzalxicalcoliuhqui chimalli.
This primitive design was a favorite one in Ancient Mexico.
