==Visual representations== Chalchihuitlicue wears a distinctive headdress, which consists of several broad, likely cotton bands trimmed with [[amaranth (disambiguation)|amaranth]] seeds.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.metmuseum.org/TOAH/HD/azss/hod_00.5.72.htm |title=Water Deity (Chalchihuitlicue) [Mexico; Aztec] (00.5.72) | Object Page | Timeline of Art History | the Metropolitan Museum of Art |access-date=2008-05-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070315221220/http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/azss/hod_00.5.72.htm |archive-date=2007-03-15 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Large round tassels fall from either side of the headdress. Chalchihuitlicue typically wears a shawl adorned with tassels and a skirt. She is often depicted sitting with a stream of water flowing out of or from behind her skirt. In the [[Codex Borbonicus]] (page 5), Chalchihuitlicue wears an elaborate blue and white headdress. She sits on a red stool and a stream of water flows out from the bottom of her stool. A male baby and female baby, who are depicted as if swimming, are carried in the water.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Codex Borbonicus|pages=5}}</ref> In the [[Codex Borgia]] (page 65), Chalchihuitlicue sits on a red throne and a river flows outwards from behind her body. Two figures stand in the water and Chalchihuitlicue gesticulates out towards them. She wears an elaborate yellow headdress.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Codex Borgia|pages=65}}</ref>
