Strombus Step Fret Butterfly Pectoral

Notes:  Game on...on the radio...Dodgers at Angels...Dodgers 2-0...top of fifth...switched to the Acer Nitro 5...the old Toshiba stored...thru no fault of its own!...Dodgers made out...Mookie the Menace now with the Dodgers...he had three home runs against San Diego last night...I dont know how quite to explain these searches, these stepping stones, that have led me now to regard the step fret as a stylized conch shell...I've done this before, noting the conch breastplate of the Aztecs...I went back to look more for the Toltec Warrior butterfly pectorals which appear on the Chacmools...for sometime the Toltec/Aztec...Rendon waps a home run...Dodgers 2-1../Mesoamerican borrowing of one another's motifs...Ohtani grounds out...I've never understood why the pectoral is called a 'butterfly'...though I found that warriors thought their fate in combat as that of a butterfly...Angels make out...to top of sixth...why the pectoral is on the Chacmools is...complicated...as in grim...Archaeology is grim...so, soh, browsing I happen on this:

the points, three on a side, are the Butterfly Pectoral of the Toltec Warrrior, sorta...but this isn't Aztec, it was made, it's thought, for the Aztecs by the Mixtecs...the dangles resemble the dangles on this:

I have a couple Mayan codecies currently .. amazingly (overwhelmingly) detailed. Even the colors are coded!!

In The Book of the Life of the Ancient Mexicans by Zelita Nuttall, on Page 3 (first page of images) is a double ax-like image, it's center is a segmented in-curving long-S shape line, like an earthworm curling in it's head, and above is a stack of 7 layers each becoming smaller than the one below it.

It resembles a double mouth conch .. except for the worm and the all-similar discrete vertical sizing of the stack.

The image is labeled: til matl . omanta trecuzis
on page 5 it is called de Xicara tuerta
