This page from the Florentine Codex, coordinated by Bernardino de Sahagún, presents a detailed ethnographic illustration. The figures at the top and the numerous schematic representations of maguey (agave) plants in the lower section reflect the characteristic Nahua-European hybrid style of the codex. Created with pen and ink, this image is a valuable visual documentation of the flora and cultural practices of pre-Hispanic Mexico during the 16th century, complementing the adjacent text.
