Summary

Description
English: Page 17 of the Codex Borgia.
Español: En esta lámina se encuentra una imagen de gran tamaño de Yayauhqui Tezcatlipoca, “El espejo humeante de color oscuro”, acompañado de dos deidades femeninas, colocadas en la parte superior, y que han sido identificadas como Chalchiuhtlicue, “Diosa del agua viva” (derecha), y Xochiquétzal, “Diosa de las flores, como diosa solar” (izquierda). Entre las diosas y Tezcatlipoca se registró una parte de la secuencia de signos de los días que, de derecha a izquierda, comienzan con ácatl, “caña”, y terminan con xóchitl, “flor”. El Tezcatlipoca oscuro muestra los 20 signos de los días colocados tanto en su cuerpo como en sus atavíos. Porta en la mano izquierda un escudo y cinco jabalinas; en la derecha sostiene una flauta muy adornada, de donde sale una serpiente azul, asociada al glifo quiáhuitl, “lluvia” (cabeza con anteojeras y fauces). Arriba de este glifo se colocó un átlatl, “lanzadardos”. Además de que Tezcatlipoca está representado como el muy poderoso señor de los 20 días del calendario ritual (tonalámatl), es también posible que la colocación de los glifos calendáricos tenga alguna relación mágico-ritual con determinadas partes del cuerpo humano y ciertos atavíos propios de esta importante deidad
