Transcription

If it were just from Mexica archaeological evidence alone, we might think that this weapon was hardly used by this people. Very few archaeological objects have been recovered. One of the original examples available was to be found in the Royal Armoury in Madrid until it was destroyed by fire in 1849 (Hassig 1988: 82) (figure 9).
