13 m.
This sacrificial yoke is from Orizaba, is an original, and is like the one described in ' : Prescott's Conquest, with notes by Bamirez. " It is of a stone excessively hard and of a green color. The sculpturing is artistically wrought ; a head, as of a snake, appearing at the top of the yoke, and the whole is highly polished.
These yokes were used in the human sacrifices, there appears little reason to doubt, being put over the neck of the unhappy victim preparatory to taking out his heart.... As such rites were only practiced in the greater temples of the country, the number of these sacrificial implements is not many, and they have only been found where such grand temples existed.
No. 13. Cilmacoatl.

This statue represents a woman dressed and adorned in the style of the Aztec nobility. The hands and feet of this —11- statue have been restored. The rattlesnake found en- circling her waist makes it seem very probable that it is a statue of the goddess Cihuacoatl, or snake-woman, the Eve of the Aztecs, from Avhom they believed the whole human race to have descended.
