This manuscript page is from the Códice de Michoacán, a 16th-century historical document narrating the history, mythology, and genealogy of the Purépecha peoples of Michoacán, Mexico. The cursive script and detailed, albeit partial, illustration reveal the style of the era and the importance of preserving cultural memory in New Spain.
