Usually decorated with a double rectangular figure known as "hawk scratches" and paired with the crescent-shaped yacameztli nose plate as well as other attributes associated with the Huastecs.

Spanish ..... Un término general que se refiere a un traje completo de guerrero nahua de nivel básico que consiste en un traje corporal con un revestimiento de plumas y un copilli o gorro. Era el tipo más comúnmente tributado por la Triple Allianza y representado en las matriculas de tributos con una grande variedad de colores. Generalmente decorado con una doble figura rectangular conocida como "arañazos de halcón" y emparejado con el yacameztli, (placa nasal en forma de media luna), así como con otros atributos asociados con los huastecos. En realidad no se incluyó en el tributo de la región huasteca, sino que era tributado por veinte provincias culturalmente y geográficamente diversas de la Triple Alianza.
