It was also ehai-acteristic of Mixcoatl. who. like Camaxtli, was god of the chase, and in honor of whom the Mexicans celebrated the feast of Quecholli. A picture in the Sahagun manuscript of the Bildioteca del Palacio represents this feast, with the god and hunters wearing the costume of the god, who perform a dance or march in procession before him {a, figure 80). Finally, this characteristic is exhibited in exactly the same way in the Borgian codex, by the god who is being sacrificed on the ball ground on which the red and the l)lack Tezcatlipoca are at play (Ik figure 80). It is also one of the attributes of the Mimix- coua, the sorcerers, called Xiuhnel and Mimitzin, who, with their sister Quilaztli, were found by the migratory Aztecs in the north dilat.
