La importancia del xbaxton jtotik entre los tsotsiles contemporáneos de San Juan Chamula, Chiapas, México

2020 
This article analyzes an important symbol of power among the current Tsotsiles of Chamula, Chiapas: the xbaxton jtotik or ‘the sceptre of our lord’. From the study of ritual practices and discursive genres, that the importance of the xbaxton jtotik comes from the belief that it is a sacred animate object, is evidenced. As we will see, this sacred nature links the xbaxton jtotik , despite having been formally introduced by the Spanish conquerors, with a worldview that dates back to pre-Hispanic times.
