Coaxtitli

Coaxtitli

in Mexican mythology, was a rude deity apparently the God of the fruit- bearing earth. He is represented as, a sitting, long-haired man, with closed. eyes, grasping something in his clumsy hands, perhaps a loaf of bread. The strange decoration of his head seems to chararacterize him as a priest; at least, the latter, carried something similar, as we know from designs and busts.
