Michoacán Codex
Artista: No identificado
Siglo XVI · México
Colección: Relación de Michoacán
This page from the Códice de Michoacán presents a narrative written in Nahuatl and Spanish, detailing the life and customs of the Purépecha nobility. The text is arranged in columns and accompanied by illuminations, characteristic of the pictographic production of New Spain in the 16th century. The work is a valuable historical-ethnological testimony about the social and religious organization of the Purépecha people after the conquest.
