this was a name given a child on the special occasion of a human sacrifice that would be made of the child on the top of a hill of the same name
also one of the rain deities (tlaloque), who were "dwarfish assistants" to Tlaloc
A sacred site, Mount Yiauhqueme was located in or near Mexico Tenochtitlan; it was a site where child sacrifices (called "human banners," or tlacatetehuitl) were made to the rain deities; one of the sacrificed children also had this name, Yiauhqueme.
One of several goddesses that were represented with masculine warrior attributes, the shield and the chicahuaztli ("bastón plantador"). Cites the Codex Borgia.
The name means "dressed in yauhtli," and it was said that her green cap was the color of yauhtli (an herb with a pungent aroma when burned, like incense).
Some scholars use a male pronoun to refer to this deity. One, Emilie Carreón Blaine, speaks of the x's on his clothing, possibly an indication that these were drops of rubber. But she also notes that Sahagún indicates how, in the rituals, the child who represented Yauhqueme wore tawny-colored papers.
