To advance in rank in the army, you have to achieve feats, even if they’re bloody...
Today, we enthusiastically show you this WIP of a Cuextecatl warrior, better known as Huastec, as it is portrayed in the Codex Mendoza.
In the chain of command of the Mexica army, just over the tlamanih, there were the Cuaxtecatl warriors, which were soldiers that captured two enemies in battle.
This rank was introduced in the army after the military campaign against the Huastecs by the Tlatoani Ahuitzotl. Warriors wore a distinctive uniform, composed of a red suit called lahuitztli, sandals and a conical hat.
