f. 23r., indigenous man standing

This is the full view of the indigenous man standing who, of the two, is on our left. He wears a skirt-like hide from his waist to his knees (which, interestingly, are indicated with simple lines, not often the case). The hide has black spots, suggesting that it may be from a jaguar (ocelotl). The man’s skin is painted brown, with lines and shading showing his musculature and three-dimensionality. He is barefooted. His right hand is elevated slightly above his waist, almost as though he is gesturing. His black hair comes to his shoulders, where it is rounded. He carries a quiver with arrows on his back. [Note: For a clarification of jaguar (ocelotl) vs. ocelot (tlacoocelotl), see what Gordon Whittaker wrote in an Aztlan post in 2012, hosted here: http://blogs.uoregon.edu/mesoinstitute/about/curriculum-unit-development/stem/ethnozoology/jaguarsocelots/.] [SW]
