an indigenous male noble standing

The gloss indicates that this man was named don Pablo [literally, “Pablos”] de Castillo. He is an indigenous noble who wears a headdress, a cape, short pants, sandles, an earplug, and carries a weapon (macana or maquahuitl) and a shield (chimalli). The weapon has a chevron pattern and serrated edges that may have been obsidian points. The cape is striped red and white, with hash marks in the white stripes. The pants have a swirling or floral pattern. The headdress consists of three long green feathers that are fastened to stand up from the back of the head, but the headdress is tied over the forehead.
