Códice Osuna
Artista: No identificado
Siglo XVI · México
Colección: Códice Osuna
This page from the Códice Osuna, a 16th-century visual document, details the distribution and taxation of various goods, likely maize and other crops, within indigenous communities. It features a combination of pictographic glyphs and writing in Nahuatl and Spanish, reflecting the cultural and administrative fusion of the early colonial period in Mesoamerica. The lower scene depicts a figure seated in a chair, possibly an official or a tributary, next to a plant and a load, which could symbolize the delivery or recording of merchandise.
