This fragment from the Veytia Codex details rituals and beliefs related to sacred images and the veneration of deities in pre-Hispanic Mexico. The cursive handwriting and ink on European paper suggest a possible later copy or transcription of an older original. The text describes ceremonial practices, such as that of the "Ome Heacatl" image, and the importance of ornaments and offerings in these rites.
