Michoacán Codex
Artista: No identificado
Siglo XVI · México
Colección: Relación de Michoacán
This page from the Códice de Michoacán features text in ancient Nahuatl, possibly a chronicle or history of the region. The cursive writing style and small side illustrations, such as the figure in ceremonial attire and the representation of an architectural structure, suggest a context of pre-Hispanic or early Spanish colonial historical or ethnographic documentation. The composition and use of color in the images are characteristic of the Mesoamerican pictographic tradition.
