Question
Demons called tzitzimime (“tsee-tsee-MEE-meh”) were said to have gruesome necklaces and examples of these objects decorated with shells, which made a rattling sound like bones. For 10 points each:
[10h] The name of Tlaloc’s wife, the goddess Chalchiutlicue (“chal-chee-oot-LEE-kway”), refers to an example of what objects?
ANSWER: skirts [accept jade skirt; accept She of the Jade Skirt; reject “dress”]
[10m] This goddess, who was depicted similarly to the tzitzimime, has a name meaning “snake skirt.” She gave birth to the sun god Huitzilopochtli (“weet-see-loh-POACHED-lee”) after a ball of feathers impregnated her.
ANSWER: Coatlicue (“koh-aht-LEE-kway”) [reject “Coyolxauhqui”]
[10e] A statue of Coatlicue shows her with a necklace of hands and these objects. The Aztecs cut these objects out with a knife during human sacrifices and held them aloft, believing that they fueled Huitzilopochtli.
ANSWER: human hearts [or yollotl]
