notes:
The highest level of the Aztec pantheon was occupied by Ometeotl [Ometecutli-Omeciuatl] who combined both male and female and dominated the genesis of things. Brotherston identifies an image from Codex Rios [Rios f. 1v, 'Genesis'] as the Lord of our Flesh, Tonacatecutli [Ometecutli], who with his partner, Tonacatciuatl [Omecihuatl], is associated with the beginning of time and the beginning of the year. The image from the Codex Rios (also known as Vaticanus A) also includes the crown.Image dimensions also includes printing ornaments.Image title taken from text.
