Some of our more complex, multi-field searches (such as the search field on our homepage and Search All Fields) are currently under repair and may not work as expected.
Thank you to all our users who emailed to alert us to the problem! We hope to have it repaired soon.
Meanwhile, elements of the Advanced Search are working and the Alphabetical Listings are working, too.
a bean seller
See an image that represents enamacac in the Visual Lexicon of Aztec Hieroglyphs, ed. Stephanie Wood (Eugene, Ore.: Wired Humanities, 2020-present).
The description (on f. 48r) of the bean seller uses male pronouns, but the seller that is pictured is a woman. The description explains how the seller takes great pains to sort the beans as to size and color (and there is a great variety). The best beans are equated with a good bracelet, jadeite, and turquoise. They are stored in a bag, a bin, or a reed box (petlacalli). (SW, paraphrasing)
