Context:Bernal Díaz del Castillo's eyewitness account in his book Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva España (commonly translated as The True History of the Conquest of New Spain or The Discovery and Conquest of Mexico).
The specific incident occurs during the Spanish retreat from Tenochtitlán known as the Noche Triste (Sad Night) in 1520, when Aztec warriors attacked the fleeing conquistadors. Díaz describes a rider named Pedro de Morón charging into the enemy, where Aztecs seized his lance, wounded him with their "broadswords" (macuahuitl), and then struck his mare: "…they slashed at the mare, and cut her head off at the neck so that it hung by the skin, and she fell dead."

Bro realized he’s not built for this
Brings new meaning to the term “hung like a horse.”
The lesbians are taking notes
Obsidian tool indeed is the sharpest manmade material a human can produce, like it’s literally used in eye surgery 💀
Also the Spanish when they later realized obsidian shatters against metal swords and armor:
“😮😄😈💀”
