Códice Aubin: Calendario y rituales
Artista: Anónimo tlacuilo mexica (Códice Aubin)
Siglo XVI · México
Colección: Códice Aubin
This double page from the Aubin Codex, a 16th-century work by an Aztec tlacuilo, combines indigenous pictographic narrative with alphabetic writing. On the left, a scene evokes a possible foundational act or ritual sacrifice, with human figures around a tree and symbolic objects. The right page features warriors with bows and arrows beneath the figure of a feathered serpent, alongside a grid-like register of glyphs and numerals that likely denote a sequence of years or historical events, showcasing the richness of Mesoamerican historiography in the early colonial period.
