Mictlantecuhtli, Tzontemoc Cuezalli), The painting of death and destinies (Codex Laud p. 14)

Mictlan, the Underworld, is the sad and funereal place of annihilation, "a house without light and without windows" where the deceased normally ends up and disappears: "he went to where our father and mother are, the god of hell, the one who descended head first into the fire (Mictlantecuhtli, Tzontemoc Cuezalli) who wishes to take us all there.
During the five days that are the second part of the trecenas of the west, Death - half skeleton, half funny monkey is the Patron, sitting on bones and ribs, under the darkness of the night. Around: ominous signs of sacrifices and death.
