a circular fan device of yellow parrot feathers
Part of the headdress of early Aztec rulers (Noguez 1978, 34), it was circular and fan-like in an upright position with hanging paper streamers. The roots are probably coztic, or yellow, yahualolli, something round, a noun derived from the verb yahualoa, and therefore might be translated as "yellow round thing."
The cozoyaualolli was a rosette of scarlet macaw feathers, symbolic of fire. It was worn by Acamapichtli, Huitzilihuitl, and Chimalpopoca, the first three Mexica rulers. (central Mexico, sixteenth century)
