This folio from the Michoacán Codex, a 16th-century visual chronicle, depicts the history and genealogy of the Purépecha people. Written and painted by hand, the manuscript employs a mix of Spanish script and indigenous glyphs to document rituals, lineages, and historical events. Its artistic style, while influenced by European tradition, retains pre-Hispanic pictorial elements, offering a valuable insight into Purépecha culture post-conquest.
