I am researching a 20th c. expatriate artist in Mexico named Sue-Jean  
Covacevich, who depicted members of the Aztec pantheon in linocuts  
during the mid 1930s. Several gods were derived from codices but I  
have not found a source for the attached Xipe-totecs. It is possible  
that the artist invented these Xipes, which do not include flayed  
skins, but her other deities, such as the attached Tezcatlipoca, are  
quite faithful to their sources. Does anyone recognize these Xipes.

Thank you
