This terra cotta figure of a warrior, found in a cave in the Valley of Mexico, makes clearer their quilted cotton armor — its jacket tied in the back, its loin cloth, its leggings and sandals. The ears are pierced for ornaments and the ring on the top of the head was perhaps for a head-dress of feathers.
